You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups
When I do this:
{{ hostvars['server1']['timestamp.stdout'] }}
as in:
- name: "Backup {{ proddbname }} Database"
mysql_db: "state=dump name={{ proddbname }} target={{ homedir }}{{
proddbname }}{{ hostvars['server01']['timestamp.stdout'] }}.sql.gz"
It gives me the error
fatal:
So in order to access this var/register from server01, I could do something
like in playbook-01.yml:
---
- hosts: "{{ hostvars['server01']['proddbhost'] }}"
(When I do that I get "ERROR! 'hostvars' is undefined"

tasks:

local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
register: timestamp
run_once: true
- name: Get current datestamp
indented var: that is a copy/paste mistake.
So those vars and register will not persist to any of the other include
playbooks?

By all accounts that I can see, the following should work:
---
- hosts: server01
remote_user: jlouthan
vars:
proddbhost: proddb01
tasks:
- name: Get current timestamp
local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
register: timestamp
run_once: true
-
So pulling in synchronize between two remote servers works like a champ:
---
- hosts: web14
remote_user: jlouthan
tasks:
- name: Get current timestamp
local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
register: timestamp
run_once: true
- name: Get current
That's it! Thank you!
To avoid being "that guy", here is the working playbook:
---
- hosts: dbserver
remote_user: jlouthan
tasks:
- name: Get current timestamp
local_action: command bash -c 'date +%Y-%m-%d.%H%M'
# Consider switch this to a shell module with date command
