How exactly are the stats output on the host? If the programs that produce them send them to standard output, then one option would be to run the commands and redirect their outputs to a file. When all the programs have been run, copy that file to wherever you need it. Remember to append for all but the first command.
Also, I don't understand what you mean about *(.*):(.*): ''* A better mechanism (IMHO) would be to write a shell script that generates all the stats in the order you want them, and either have that script write to a file or redirect its output to a file. Then just grab that file. If the stats are to be obtained from multiple machines you could copy the script to each with Ansible and then execute it. If it's just one host, you could leave the script on that host. It depends on where would be the most appropriate place to maintain the script. Regards, K.
