I have a playbook
---
- hosts: all
gather_facts: True
tasks:
- action: debug msg="time = {{ ansible_date_time }}"
Which returns the full json representation for each machine. How do I further filter that within the playbook such that I only get the iso8601_basic_short part
[root@pjux playbooks]# ansible --version
ansible 2.1.1.0
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = Default w/o overrides
