I have this Ansible inventory file:

db01.example.com ansible_ssh_host=192.168.1.2
ip_addr=192.168.1.2

[cmsservers]
cms01.example.com ansible_ssh_host=192.168.1.4
ip_addr=192.168.1.4
What I want to do is be able to set some facts that contain the host
aliases when I run this playbook on my web01.example.com server:
- name: create alias facts
set_fact:
file_server_alias: hostvars[{{ inventory_hostname
}}]['groups']['fileservers'][0] # should get string 'fs01.example.com'
The syntax is not correct, correct syntax should be
file_server_alias: "{{
hostvars[inventory_hostname]['groups']['fileservers'][0] }}"
But there is not point in using hostvars in this example since you can
just use groups(one of the magic variables in Ansible)
file_server_alias: "{{ groups['fileservers'][0] }}"
