Question

I'm trying to get the pending installed windows update kb using ansible.
- name: Check for missing updates.
win_updates:
state: searched
category_names: "{{ win_updates_categories }}"
register: update_count
ignore_errors: yes
- debug: msg="{{ update_count.updates.kb }}"
but runs in error, could anyone help me, thank you !
Here is the output for register updatte
- debug:
var: update_count
"update_count": {
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"filtered_updates": {},
"found_update_count": 1,
"installed_update_count": 0,
"reboot_required": false,
"updates": {
"67eab6a6-099b-42c5-86ce-63681f58ebd2": {
"categories": [
"Security Updates",
"Windows Server 2016"
],
"id": "67eab6a6-099b-42c5-86ce-63681f58ebd2",
"installed": false,
"kb": [
"4593226"

}
}
}
}
Here is the error if i only want show kb info
- debug:
var: update_count.updates.kb
"update_count.updates.kb": "VARIABLE IS NOT DEFINED!"

Answer 1

Please see below, I used the {{ item.value.id }} to get the ID value (last task) and saving them in an array if they are more than one, same way you should be able to retrieve the KBs. hopefully this explains
install critical updates only - reboot if nece
- name: install category critical updates only
win_updates:
category_names: ['CriticalUpdates']
server_selection: windows_update
state: installed
ignore_errors: yes
register: CriticalUpdateResults
- name: Postgres Column Values assigned
set_fact: UpdateCategory="{{ CriticalUpdateResults }}"
- name: CriticalUpdates Category assigned
set_fact: PatchCategory="CriticalUpdates"
- name: UpdatesArray assigned space
set_fact:
UpdatesArray: ""
- name: UpdatesArray assigned None if no update count
set_fact:
UpdatesArray: "None"
when: UpdateCategory.found_update_count == 0
- name: Updates Array assigned
set_fact:
UpdatesArray: "{{ UpdatesArray }} {{ **item.value.id** }}"
with_items:
- "{{ UpdateCategory.updates | dict2items }}"
when: UpdateCategory.found_update_count != 0
