Im runnning a ansible playbook with some commands to a networkdevice (juniper) to check status.
The output look like this:
"Monitor Failure codes:",
" CS Cold Sync monitoring FL Fabric Connection monitoring",
" GR GRES monitoring HW Hardware monitoring",
" IF Interface monitoring IP IP monitoring",
" LB Loopback monitoring MB Mbuf monitoring",
" NH Nexthop monitoring NP NPC monitoring ",
" SP SPU monitoring SM Schedule monitoring",
" CF Config Sync monitoring",
" ",
"Cluster ID: 1",
"Node Priority Status Preempt Manual Monitor-failures",
"",
"Redundancy group: 0 , Failover count: 0",
"node0 1 secondary no no None ",
"node1 125 primary no no None ",
"",
"Redundancy group: 1 , Failover count: 0",
"node0 1 secondary yes no None ",
"node1 125 primary yes no None"
I want to filter and then do some checks on the segments under Redundancy group: 0 and 1 (the other port is of no intrest. I cant figure out the best way to parse them out, write filter plugin? Or just regexp? In the best of world i would like to sepearate redundacy group 0 and 1 so i can check them separatly. But thats not needed.

If you need some complex processing, then yes – write a filter plugin.
But some basic processing can be done with regular expressions and other filters, see this example:
- debug:
msg: "Name={{ node_name }}, val1={{ node_val_1 }}"
vars:
node_name: "{{ item.split()[0] }}"
node_val_1: "{{ item.split()[1] }}"
regexp: '^Redundancy group: 0[\s\S]+?^$'
new_line: "\n"
loop_control:
label: "{{ node_name }}"
with_items: >
{{ (
(mylines | join(new_line) + new_line)
| regex_search(regexp, multiline=true)
).splitlines()[1:] }}
This searches for range of lines starting with Redundancy group: 0 and ending with empty line, then feed this lines into looped debug module.
