I'm trying to save the timestamp corresponding to when a playbook runs in a
variable.
I plan to use this variable across the playbook but I'm facing issues
particularly since
the lookup plugin runs and generates a new value each time.
module_defaults:
group/ns.col.session:
session_id: "{{ lookup('pipe','date \"+%Y-%m-%d-%H%M\"') }}"
The value is looked up at the time that it is needed
I could use set_fact: but it only works inside of the tasks: block and I'd
like to set it to some value before any task can run i.e. right after hosts.
- hosts:
- localhost
module_defaults:
group/ns.col.session:
session_id: .............
How do I achieve this WITHOUT using set_fact OR without using the lookup() ?
In other words, how to save or copy the value of a lookup to some variable
?
Thanks
