Ansible Playbook out with many !

Steven Williams

I am running an ansible playbook to pull running configs of my switches. I do get this to work but my output has many lines of ! that I want to eliminate. 

 

Does ios_command have something build into for this filtering? I have written this yml but doesn't seem to work.

If you don't want any "!" in the output use show run | exclude ! it should only provide the running-config without all of the ! padding.

Well that was much easier than creating a filter on the output.

 

Thanks.
