I tried Shell module too like below but it actually serach for vm*.log
file instead of all the vm.log files.
- name: Check whether vmware log file contains TDR
shell: grep 'TDR_DUMP' '{{guest_vm_path}}/{{item}}/vmware*.log'
with_items:
- '{{guest_list}}'
- '{{guest_name_poweredon}}'
ignore_errors: True
register: output
