Ansible parsing json - json

Question

I am using an Ansible module (vmware_guest_info) with this code:
- name: Get status of VM post-change
vmware_guest_info:
datacenter: "xxxx"
hostname: "{{ result_item.vcenter }}"
username: "{{ xxxx }}"
password: "{{ ansible_password }}"
name: "{{ result_item.vmname }}"
schema: "vsphere"
validate_certs: no
properties: ["config.hardware.memoryMB", "config.hardware.numCPU", "config.hardware.numCoresPerSocket"]
register: postvmname_vminfo
loop: "{{ result.list }}"
loop_control:
loop_var: result_item
It produces the following JSON:
{
"results": [
{
"ansible_loop_var": "result_item",
"changed": false,
"failed": false,
"instance": {
"config": {
"hardware": {
"memoryMB": 4096,
"numCPU": 6,
"numCoresPerSocket": 1
}
}
},
The command that produces the json is looping though an excel file with these contents:
vmname vcenter
Server1 Vcenter1
Server2 Vcenter1
I need to create a dictionary between vmname and numCPU. How can I do this?
I have tried this:
- set_fact:
resultCPU: "{{ instance.config.hardware.numCPU }}"
with_items:
- "{{ postvmname_vminfo.results | json_query(query) }}"
vars:
query: "[?invocation.module_args.name=='{{ result_item.vmname }}']"
loop: "{{ result.list }}"
loop_control:
loop_var: result_item
I get item is undefined from the above. I believe the issue is with my query. I think what I really need to do is use zip to create a dictionary between the servers(vmname) in my Excel file and the value of numCPU.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
