The content of the source is very dynamic on each run, hence, going static
isn't viable.
I tried with your logic, like below:
- name: Form list of dicts
set_fact:
logfile_config: "{{ logf_dest |default([]) +
[ {
'logfile_name': 'remote.conf',
'logfile_pattern': item,
'logfile_owner': 'root'
}
] }}"
with_items: "{{ logf_dest }}"
- debug:
var: logfile_config
It doesn't give the desired output. `logfile_config` is:
TASK [debug]
*********************************************************************************************************************************
task path: /home/ansible/playbooks/loghost-new.yml:42
ok: [log-dvl.vpn] => {
"logfile_config": [
"/logs/mx/mail.log",
"/logs/dyn.log",
"/logs/apache-servers/other.log",
{
"logfile_name": "remote.conf",
"logfile_owner": "root",
"logfile_pattern": "/logs/apache-servers/other.log"
}
]
}
Anything I missed?
