⚠️ We've moved!

Hi there!

To reduce project dependency on 3rd party paid services the StackStorm TSC has decided to move the Q/A from this forum to Github Discussions. This will make user experience better integrated with the native Github flow, as well as the questions closer to the community where they can provide answers.

Need help to parse output

Hello, I have a task that loops to get user details in one same server. The exceededCPUUsers contains the list of the users.
For example:
exceededCPUUsers: [user1, user2]

This is the task in a workflow:

Task3:
    action: core.remote
    with: <% ctx().exceededCPUUsers %>
    input:
      username: root
      hosts: "{{ ctx().hostname }}"
      cmd: "checkpkg user={{ item() }}"
    next:
      - when: <% succeeded() %>
        publish:
          - getPackage: <% task(Task3).result %>

It saves the output to getPackage like this : https://pastebin.com/Vm7R34ag

I’m struggling with the list inside list part (items list and hostname list) .I need suggestion on how to make the output like this: https://pastebin.com/3ZdcRF4i

As you can see the hostname list is merged, and the item() from exceededCPUUsers become keys. I think it’s like changing from nested list into dict inside list.

I really appreciate the help.

What errors are you getting? What YAQL query have you tried so far?

FYI, the example you shared via pastebin (https://pastebin.com/Vm7R34ag) is not valid JSON.

I tried this query:
<% task(Task3).result.items.select($.result) %>

So far, it looks like this : https://pastebin.com/5EcdFxJv Now I don’t know how to merge the item list so the hostname only shows once, and use exceededCPUUsers as key.

The pastebin is correct, except in the final output because I want to illustrate the final output.

The data restructuring you’re attempting to do is too complex for YAQL or Jinja, you’ll need to process it with a general purpose language.

Yeah I do think the structure is too complex. I’ll try another way. Thank you for your help.
