How to separate the output of register into dict - ansible

Question

I have the following output:
TASK [debug] ***********************
ok: [localhost] => {
"output": {
"changed": true,
"msg": "All items completed",
"results": [
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": true,
"failed": false,
"item": {
"NAME": "server1",
"SEC_SYS": "CONT2"
},
"rc": 0,
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "vm1,Not Activated\nvm2,Not Activated\nvm3,Running\nvm4,Running\nvm5,Not Activated\nvm6,Running\n",
"stdout_lines": [
"vm1,Not Activated",
"vm2,Not Activated",
"vm3,Running",
"vm4,Running",
"vm5,Not Activated",
"vm6,Running"
]
},
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": true,
"failed": false,
"item": {
"NAME": "server2",
"SEC_SYS": "CONT1"
},
"rc": 0,
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "vm1,Running\nvm2,Running\nvm3,Not Activated\nvm4,Not Activated\nvm5,Running\nvm6,Not Activated\n",
"stdout_lines": [
"vm1,Running",
"vm2,Running",
"vm3,Not Activated",
"vm4,Not Activated",
"vm5,Running",
"vm6,Not Activated"
]
},
{
"ansible_loop_var": "item",
"changed": true,
"failed": false,
"item": {
"NAME": "server3",
"SEC_SYS": "CONT2"
},
"rc": 0,
"stderr": "",
"stderr_lines": [],
"stdout": "vm1,Not Activated\nvm2,Not Activated\nvm3,Running\nvm4,Running\nvm5,Not Activated\nvm6,Running\n",
"stdout_lines": [
"vm1,Not Activated",
"vm2,Not Activated",
"vm3,Running",
"vm4,Running",
"vm5,Not Activated",
"vm6,Running"
]
}
]
}
}
I want to turn into the following list:
vm_off:
- SEC_SYS: CONT2
VM_NA:
- vm1
- vm2
- vm5
- SEC_SYS: CONT1
VM_NA:
- vm3
- vm4
- vm6
Then sum the proc of the Not Activated VM, comparing from the list:
vmlist:
- name: vm1
proc: 0.5
- name: vm2
proc: 0.7
- name: vm3
proc: 1.0
- name: vm4
proc: 0.5
- name: vm5
proc: 0.5
- name: vm6
proc: 0.5
The expected output will be:
proc_steal:
- server: CONT1
proc: 1.7
- server: CONT2
proc: 2.0
I cant separate the stdout_lines into a dict because it appear an error:
fatal: [localhost]: FAILED! => {"msg": "The task includes an option with an undefined variable. The error was: 'ansible.utils.unsafe_proxy.AnsibleUnsafeText object' has no attribute 'results'\n\nThe error appears to be in '/etc/ansible/val.yml': line 17, column 7, but may\nbe elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.\n\nThe offending line appears to be:\n\n\n - set_fact:\n ^ here\n"}
My .yml:
- hosts: localhost
gather_facts: no
vars:
vmservers:
- NAME: server1
SEC_SYS: CONT2
- NAME: server2
SEC_SYS: CONT1
- NAME: server3
SEC_SYS: CONT2
tasks:
- name: get not activated vm
ansible.builtin.script: "vm.sh {{ item.SEC_SYS }}"
register: output
loop: "{{ vmservers }}"
- set_fact:
vm_all: "{{ vm_all | default([]) + [item.results.stdout_lines.split(',')] }}"
with_items: "{{ output }}"
- debug:
var: output
- debug:
var: vm_all
the vm.sh just take a list of vm and its state:
#!/bin/bash
if [ "$1" = "CONT1" ]; then
case $1 in
"CONT1") cat cont1.txt;;
esac
else
case $1 in
"CONT2") cat cont2.txt;;
esac
fi
root:ansible# cat cont1.txt
vm1,Running
vm2,Running
vm3,Not Activated
vm4,Not Activated
vm5,Running
vm6,Not Activated

I create the dict vmoff2 using the following:
- name: create Not Activated VM list
set_fact:
vmoff: >-
{{ vmoff | default([])
+ [{
'sec_sys': item.item.SEC_SYS,
'vm_na': dict(item.stdout_lines
| from_yaml
| select()
| map('split', ',')
| list)
}]
}}
loop: "{{ output.results }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.item.SEC_SYS }}"
And eliminate the duplicate output with:
- name: eliminate duplicate
set_fact:
vmoff2: "{{ vmoff2 | default([]) + [{'sec_sys': item.1.0.sec_sys, 'vm_na': item.1.0.vm_na }] }}"
loop: "{{ vmoff|groupby('sec_sys') }}"
Finally i have the following dict:
"vmoff2": [
{
"sec_sys": "CONT1",
"vm_na": {
"vm1": "Running",
"vm2": "Running",
"vm3": "Not Activated",
"vm4": "Not Activated",
"vm5": "Running",
"vm6": "Not Activated"
}
},
{
"sec_sys": "CONT2",
"vm_na": {
"vm1": "Not Activated",
"vm2": "Not Activated",
"vm3": "Running",
"vm4": "Running",
"vm5": "Not Activated",
"vm6": "Running"
}
}
]
---------------
"vmprof2": [
{
"proc": {
"vm1": "0.5",
"vm2": "0.7",
"vm3": "1.0",
"vm4": "0.5",
"vm5": "0.5",
"vm6": "0.5"
},
"sec_sys": "CONT1"
},
{
"proc": {
"vm1": "1.0",
"vm2": "0.7",
"vm3": "1.0",
"vm4": "0.7",
"vm5": "0.5",
"vm6": "0.7"
},
"sec_sys": "CONT2"
}
]
I want to sum the proc of the Not activated VM, and have the following output:
proc_steal:
- server: CONT1
proc: 1.7
- server: CONT2
proc: 2.4
I tried the following:
- name: create proc_steal list
set_fact:
proc_steal: >-
{{ proc_steal | default([])
+ [{
'sec_sys': item.sec_sys,
'proc': vmprof2
| selectattr('sec_sys', '==', item.sec_sys)
| selectattr('proc', '==', item.vm_na)
| sum(attribute='value')
| float
}]
}}
loop: "{{ vmoff2 }}"
loop_control:
label: "{{ item.sec_sys }}"
but i get:
"proc_steal": [
{
"proc": 0.0,
"sec_sys": "CONT1"
},
{
"proc": 0.0,
"sec_sys": "CONT2"
}
]
}
Is not making the sum, maybe because is not float, but when i tried to put float i have an error, any guess?
