Ansible loop over multiple lists of variables - linux

Question

i hope everyone can help me with my ansible task problem. I deploy the snmp configurations via ansible on my servers and work with snmp-extend to trigger my scripts over snmp with certain OIDs. After my playbook has run and ansible deploy the snmp configurations, i manually execute the following command to become the OID for certain extend, for example:
snmptranslate -On NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutput1Line.\"folder-size-/home\"
This part i would like to do automatically via ansible, i have the variables:
snmp_mountpoints_extends:
- folder-size
- folder-avail
- folder-used
and in my inventory I define for host the following variables:
server1:
custom_mountpoints:
- /home
- /opt
my ansible part:
name: Generate OIDs for custom inventroy variables
become: yes
shell: 'snmptranslate -On NET-SNMP-EXTEND-MIB::nsExtendOutput1Line.\"{{ item }}-{{ custom_mountpoints[0] }}\"'
with_items:
"{{ snmp_mountpoints_extends }}"
register: custom_mountpoints_output
when:
- custom_mountpoints is defined
- name: print output from custom_mountpoints_output
debug: msg={{ custom_mountpoints_output }}
This work fine but only for first host variable /home. How can I iterate over my custom_mountpoints with each vars from snmp_mountpoints_extends?
thank you in advance

According Ansible documentation Iterating over nested lists you may use the following approach
---
- hosts:localhost
become: false
gather_facts: false
vars:
server1:
custom_mountpoints:
- /home
- /opt
snmp_mountpoints_extends:
- folder-size
- folder-avail
- folder-used
tasks:
- name: Iterating over nested lists
debug:
msg: "{{ item[0] }} and {{ item[1] }}"
loop: "{{ server1.custom_mountpoints | product(snmp_mountpoints_extend) | list }}"
resulting into the desired output.
/home and folder-size
/home and folder-avail
/home and folder-used
/opt and folder-size
/opt and folder-avail
/opt and folder-used
