I have written the below playbook to fetch the failed port status.

 - name: Check port status wait_for: host: 127.0.0.1 port: "{{ item }}" timeout: 2 state: started ignore_errors: yes with_items: - 80 - 22 - 8080 register: wait_result - debug: msg: "{{ 'Failed with message: ' ~ wait_result.msg if wait_result.failed else 'Success' }}"

While fetching the msg from debug logs I am unable to get the timeout message.

PLAY [mysrv] ************************************************************************************************************************************ TASK [Gathering Facts] ************************************************************************************************************************** ok: [localhost] TASK [Check Nagios port status] ***************************************************************************************************************** ok: [localhost] => (item=80) ok: [localhost] => (item=22) failed: [localhost] (item=8080) => {"ansible_loop_var": "item", "changed": false, "elapsed": 2, "item": 8080, "msg": "Timeout when waiting for 127.0.0.1:8080"} ...ignoring TASK [debug] ************************************************************************************************************************************ ok: [localhost] => { "msg": "Failed with message: One or more items failed" } PLAY RECAP ************************************************************************************************************************************** localhost : ok=3 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=1

Can someone please help to correct my code?

For example, you can write the messages

 - debug: msg: | {% for i in wait_result.results|select('failed') %} {{ i.msg }} {% endfor %}

, or create a list and use it later

 failed_msg: "{{ wait_result.results| select('failed')| map(attribute='msg')|list }}"

Example of a complete playbook for testing

- hosts: localhost vars: failed_msg: "{{ wait_result.results| select('failed')| map(attribute='msg')|list }}" tasks: - name: Check port status wait_for: host: 127.0.0.1 port: "{{ item }}" timeout: 2 state: started register: wait_result ignore_errors: yes loop: [22, 25, 53, 80] - debug: var: wait_result when: debug|d(false)|bool - debug: var: failed_msg - debug: msg: | {% for i in wait_result.results|select('failed') %} {{ i.msg }} {% endfor %} - assert: that: wait_result.results|select('failed')|length == 0 fail_msg: | {% for i in wait_result.results|select('failed') %} {{ i.msg }} {% endfor %} success_msg: All services started.

gives
