Parameters:

• Connection (text box editor type) (type: object): the Ansible Connection object. The output parameter from Connect To Ansible activity should be used as Input here.
• Group (text box editor type) (type: string): enter group name. E.g. Flowster. This parameter takes precedence over Hosts parameter. If both parameters are empty, the result will contain all groups with all hosts existent on the inventory.
• Hosts (text box editor type) (type: String[]): enter hosts array of strings .E.g. New String() {"hostname1", "hostname2"}

The Read Only Output variable are the possible output values that the activity will provide:

• Output (type: List <KeyValuePair <String,String>>): Outputs a list of KeyValuePairs with key : group name and value: host;info . E.g. value returned for host1 will be stored as host1;ansible_ssh_hostroot@10.10.10.1

In order to iterate through the list of results to extract the key and value for each host, use an iteration activity, e.g. Custom ForEach and use a logging/assign activity to display/assign the iterator.Key and iterator.Value:

If you only wish to extract a specific element from the list, use Get KeyValuePair activity based on Index or Key value.
