Think it through .. what is the structure of the data in 'lg' after win_service? You have to learn to decipher structured data so you can learn how to reference it.

If it isnt running, then install it. My play book looks like below: - name: Check if LogRhythm System Monitor service is installed win_service: name: lg register: lg - ansible.builtin.debug: #msg: "state: running found" var: lg #verbosity: 4 when: lg is search("runing") I purposely used the variable "runing" instead of "running", as for new server builds, the service isnt installed and running, so it will install it. But if the service is "running", how can I modify my existing when condition to skip, if service is "running"?
