Field Value
msg 
The conditional check 'sshd_config..status.ActiveState != "active"' failed. The error was: template error while templating string: expected name or number. String: {% if sshd_config..status.ActiveState != "active" %} True {% else %} False {% endif %}. expected name or number

The error appears to be in '/home/ssh-gateway/ansible/kuly/RM10193-sshd-config-changes.yaml': line 32, column 7, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:


    - name: Check sshd status
      ^ here
