Thanks for your reply. *Expected value is: - Linux hostname 4.18.0-193.el8.x86_64 ( The customer has RHEL 8.2 running in its env )* I have 100 such lines given to me by the customer ( OS inventory ) where 80% of the values that I receive by running the ansible standard module matches with the expected value given by the customer. I need to understand how these values can be matched with the values given by the customer.
