You then need to look at found.files (a list) to see what is found. This is 
documented in the ansible find module.

Re: [ansible-project] 'dict object' has no attribute 'stdout'

D'oh! Test one thing and post something else. *Argh!*
How about this:

- name: Save output to file
  ansible.builtin.copy:
 content: |
   {{ output.stdout_lines[0:1] | join('\n') }}
 dest: "show-output/{{ inventory_hostname }}.ios"
  when output.stdout_lines is defined

Hi We have the following working config down below. However sometimes the 
routers don't have the command "sh ip ospf nei" and we get the following 
error:
FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. 
The error was: 'dict object' has no attribute 'stdout'\n\nThe error appears

the routers who have it.

Re: [ansible-project] Vmware.Collection: vmware_guest_snapshot setting expiration

[Stefan Coussens]

I don't know if you use tower but what I do is take a snapshot named
"snapshot by ansible" and  for the removal I use the absent parameter
(state: absent) and schedule the playbook to run at a certain time.
