my debug syntax

       - debug: msg="{{output3.msg|json_query(jmesquery)}}"     
         vars:
             jmesquery: "[*].{Name: name, local: proxy_id.entry.local,remote: proxy_id.entry.remote,tunnel:tunnel_interface}"

output i'm getting

"msg": [
    {
        "Name": "customer-a",
        "local": null,
        "remote": null,
        "tunnel": "tunnel.5"
    },
    {
        "Name": "customer-b",
        "local": null,
        "remote": null,
        "tunnel": "tunnel.10"
    },
    {
        "Name": "customer-c",
        "local": null,
        "remote": null,
        "tunnel": "tunnel.15"
    }]

CodePudding user response：

The reason you are seeing null values is because proxy_id.entry is an array and it doesn't have local/remote keys directly under it. The correct syntax would be something like proxy_id.entry[].local.

Using auto_key.proxy_id.entry[] syntax in json_query produced the desired output. Below is the task:

    - name: show jsondata
      debug:
        var: output3.msg | json_query(jquery)
      vars:
        jquery: "[].{Name: name, local: auto_key.proxy_id.entry[].local | join(',', @), remote: auto_key.proxy_id.entry[].remote | join(',', @), tunnel: tunnel_interface}"

Note that I have used join() function to get comma separated string for local and remote. Below is the output:

ok: [localhost] => {
    "output3.msg | json_query(jquery)": [
        {
            "Name": "customer-a",

            "remote": "192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.0/24,192.168.2.0/24",

        },
        {
            "Name": "customer-b",
            "local": "2.2.1.0/24",
            "remote": "192.168.3.0/24",
            "tunnel": "tunnel.10"
