ansible iterate on results from multiple hosts to pull specific key value

Team,

I am looping over all hosts in specific inventory group to check the key-value responses from the output of stat on a file but am failing to map it. can anyone hint please how to map it?

      - debug:
          var: result
      - debug:
          msg: "FOUND: /etc/cachefilesd.conf exists..."
        when: result.results.stat.exists
        delegate_to: "{{ item }}"
        with_items: "{{ groups['gpu_node'] }}"

output:

   TASK [services-pre-install-checks : debug] 
 ok: [localhost] => {[0m
     "result": {[0m
         "changed": false, [0m
         "msg": "All items completed", [0m

                          "path": "/etc/cachefilesd.conf"[0m
                     }                 }, 
                 "item": "hostA", [0m
                 "stat": {[0m
                     "atime": 1573005811.023855, [0m

                 }[0m
             }, [0m
             {[0m

                         "path": "/etc/cachefilesd.conf"[0m
                     }[0m
                 }, [0m
                 "item": "hostB", [0m

                      exists": true, [0m

error:

In your above example, result.results is a list.

You are trying to access result.results.stat: this variable is not defined.

But you can access e.g. result.results[0].stat for the first element. You now need to figure out how you want to loop other those results to achieve your goal.
