Hello,

We have a simple/working playbook that looks for log files based on the
server's name and prints the file(s) it could find:

  vars:
      log_files: "/path/to/directory"
  tasks:
    - name: Collect log files
      ansible.builtin.find:
         path: "{{ log_files }}/"
         patterns: "*{{ inventory_hostname }}*"
      register: log_search

    - name: print collection result
      ansible.builtin.debug:
         msg: "{{ item.path }}"
      with_items: "{{ log_search.files }}"

For each file found, the the printout looks like this:
ok: [SERVER_NAME] => (item={'path':
'/path/to/directory/logs/monitor-<SERVER_NAME>-02-2024.03.18.log', 'mode':
'0644',
'isdir': False, 'ischr': False, 'isblk': False, 'isreg': True, 'isfifo':
False, 'islnk': False, 'issock': False, 'uid': 999, 'gid': 999,
 'size': 272091, 'inode': 12956486, 'dev': 45, 'nlink': 1, 'atime':
1710905864.848738, 'mtime': 1710827942.815553, 'ctime': 1710827942.815553,
 'gr_name': 'xxxxx', 'pw_name': 'xxxxx', 'wusr': True, 'rusr': True,
'xusr': False, 'wgrp': False, 'rgrp': True, 'xgrp': False, 'woth': False,
 'roth': True, 'xoth': False, 'isuid': False, 'isgid': False}) => {
      "msg":
"/path/to/directory/logs/monitor-<SERVER_NAME>-02-2024.03.18.log"
}

How could I, if even possible, format the printout so it would only show
the whole path to the file, omitting/discarding all the other file
attributes information?
(And please forgive my ignorance...)

Thanks a lot,

Alex
