Hostvar value as dict key

I'm using Napalm-Ansible to generate compliance reports when I deploy my network devices.



One of the test is to verify the IP address of the management VLAN. Here's how it works:



My main playbook looks like this:



    - name: Management VLAN verification
napalm_validate:
hostname: "{{ ansible_host }}"
username: "{{ user }}"
dev_os: ios
password: "{{ pass }}"
validation_file: "roles/cisco_conf/configs/validate.yml"


Then, the validation file looks like this:



- get_interfaces_ip:
Vlan2:
ipv4:
SOMEIPADDRESS:
prefix_length: 24


How can I replace "SOMEIPADDRESS" with the value of a variable defined in my hostvar file ?



Thanks in advance,



Simon

    Maybe switch to using a template to create the validation file, since trying to change that to a variable didn't work? docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/template_module.html
