This is my playbook

---
- hosts: mytestserver
  become: true
  become_method: sudo
  gather_facts: true

  vars:
  # To get vgname and lvname from ansible_mounts's device 
    mt: "{{ MT }}" #Extravariable
    disp_pth: "{{ item['device'] }}"
    disp_tmp: "{{ disp_pth | basename }}"
    DISP: "{{ disp_tmp.split('-') }}"
    VGname: "{{ DISP.0 }}"
    LVname1: "{{ DISP.1 }}"
    DISPP2: "{{ DISP.3|default('') }}"
    LVname2: "{{ DISP.1 }}-{{ DISPP2 }}"
    LVname: "{{ LVname2 if (disp_tmp | regex_search('--')) else LVname1 }}"


  tasks:
    - name: Get filesystem values
      lvol:
        vg: "{{ VGname }}"
        lv: "{{ LVname }}"
      with_items: "{{ ansible_mounts }}"
      when: item.mount == MT
      register: myfs

    - debug:
        var: myfs

When I excecute it:

$ ansible-playbook -i proyects/Inventory/awx_hosts -l mytestserver getlvmfacts.yml -e MT=/DATA

I get the values:

                "skipped": true
            }
        ]
    }
}

To the end of the matched mount point (/DATA) there are three filesystems parameters:

"lv": "DATA",
"size": 1024.0,
"vg": "vgAPP"

The question is: How can I refer to this parameters?

I have tried using myfs.lv but don't work and varius more ways. I think this is because those aren't inside 'item'

Desired: using somthing like "myfs.lv" and get "DATA"

hope you can help. Thanks in advance!

If you refer to the structure that debug outputs you can see that myfs.lv is clearly wrong, because the only keys at the top level are msg, changed, and results.

When you run a task in a loop, the results are stored as a list under the results key of the registered variable. To access that particular result, you would do something like myfs.results.2.lv.

Hardcoding an index like this is generally not what you want, though, so you should instead do something to select the result you want. (myfs.results | reject('skipped') | list | first).lv would retrieve lv for the first non-skipped result.

Or, of course, you could make this easier on yourself by not looping in the first task:

  tasks:
    - name: Get filesystem values
      lvol:
        vg: "{{ mount_dev_split.0 }}"
        lv: "{{ mount_dev_split.1 ~ lv_name_suffix }}"
      vars:
        mount_dev: "{{ (ansible_facts.mounts | selectattr('mount', 'equalto', MT) | list).0.device }}"
        mount_dev_split: "{{ (mount_dev | basename).split('-') }}"
        lv_name_suffix: "{{ ('-' ~ mount_dev_split.3 | default('')) if '--' in mount_dev else '' }}"
      register: myfs

    - debug:
        msg: "{{ myfs.lv }}"

Well. First of all thank you very much! You made it much easier this way. I'm new to Ansible and there're elements I don't handle. I appreciate your help. Thanks again!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
