Re: [ovirt-users] ansible and list of vms

Great, it works like a charm! But how could I obtain a several map display? For example, I need to display the vm name ; its relative snaphost id and snaphot description. I tried to change filter, but notyhing works msg: "{{ ovirt_snapshots | map(attribute='description') | map(attribute='id') | join(' ') }}" or something like msg: "{{ ovirt_snapshots.vm | map(attribute='name') | map(attribute='id') | join(' ') }}" Thanks for helping. ps: I tried nearly all modules, and the permissions one is bugged, only internal-authz domain displays users, none of ldap one can display.
