I am executing a PS script on a windows host and want to store its stdout in a file on an ansible local machine. I have a playbook like following:
---
- name: Check Antivirus software
hosts: all
become: false
gather_facts: no
tasks:
- name: Get AV details
win_shell: |
echo "script printing data on stdout"
register: result
- name: save response
copy:
content: '{{ result.stdout }}'
dest: '{{ response_file }}'
delegate_to: localhost
From the above playbook, 1st task gets executed without any issues. But 2nd task gives the following error.
TASK [save response] *******************************************************************************************************************************************
fatal: [20.15.102.192 -> localhost]: UNREACHABLE! => {"changed": false, "msg": "ntlm: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='localhost', port=5986): Max retries exceeded with url: /wsman (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.VerifiedHTTPSConnection object at 0x7f4940760208>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused',))", "unreachable": true}
I also tried local_action which is also giving the same error.

I am trying to update a XLSX file locally using this module : https://github.com/mohameosam/open_excel
I have succeed to update the XLSX file when running a task without "Conditional Variables". But when I try to run it with "When" variable. It shows error below :
TASK [Update predepchk] ****************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Unsupported parameters for (open_excel) module: when Supported parameters include: attributes, backup, cell_style, content, delimiter, dest, directory_mode, follow, force, group, index_by_name, mode, op, owner, read_range, regexp, remote_src, selevel, serole, setype, seuser, sheet_name, src, unsafe_writes, updates_matrix"}

when: ansible_facts['distribution'] == "Debian" and ansible_facts['distribution_major_version'] == "9"
My question will be:
Can I pass this remote host condition to my local tasks?
As answered by #Zeitounator .
It's because I have my when: conditional statement where was not the same level as "name: / open_excel:"
Below are couple of IP addresses and their telnet response (output)
telnet 10.9.9.112 22
Trying 10.9.9.112......
telnet 10.9.9.143 22
Trying 10.9.9.143.....
telnet: connect to address 10.9.9.143: Connection refused.
For the first IP 10.9.9.112 there is no connection and firewall blocks any connection from source to destination. The output simply says Trying .... and stays that way without printing anything else.
For the second IP 10.9.9.143 i get Connection refused immediately in the output and the control back to the prompt.
I wish to grab both scenarios in when condition and perform different activities for both the cases.
I tried to use Ansible's telnet module but I don't know how to grab both the different outputs in the registered variable.
In my case it prints the same message for both the IPs.
Ansible output for first ip:
TASK [debug] *************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "HERE:{u'msg': u'Timeout when waiting for 10.9.9.112', u'failed': True, 'changed': False, u'elapsed': 4}"
Ansible Output for second ip:
TASK [debug] *************************************
ok: [localhost] => {
"msg": "HERE:{u'msg': u'Timeout when waiting for 10.9.9.143', u'failed': True, 'changed': False, u'elapsed': 3}"
The only difference I see is the value for elapsed.
Here is my playbook.
---
- name: "Play 1"
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- wait_for:
hosts: "{{ item }}"
port: 22
state: started
delay: 3
timeout: 90
ignore_errors: yes
register: telnetout
loop:
- 10.9.9.112
- 10.9.9.143
- debug:
msg: "HERE: {{ telnetout }}"
telnet module unfortunately does not record Connection Refused message in the output.
We have to use raw module instead like below.
---
- name: "Play 1"
hosts: localhost
tasks:
- raw: "timeout --signal=9 2 telnet {{ item }} 22"
ignore_errors: yes
register: telnetout
loop:
- 10.9.9.112
- 10.9.9.143
- debug:
msg: "HERE: {{ telnetout }}"

I get following error when i tried to collect facts of ansible host machine. I have set up a file getdate.fact and getrole.fact which has code respectively
#############getdate.fact###############
echo [date]
echo date= `date`
########################################
#############getrole.fact###############
echo [role]
echo role= `whoami`
########################################
and when i tried to run the playbook main.yml then it following error.
[root#ansibletower tasks]# ansible -m setup test-servers

}
If I recall correctly, executables are expected to return JSON:
#!/bin/bash
echo '{ "date" : "'$( date )'" }'
You probably need to add "shebang" line to your fact scripts. I.e., getdate.fact should look like:
#!/bin/sh
echo [date]
echo date=`date`
