.. _ansible_host_delegated:

How do I get the original ansible_host when I delegate a task?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

As the documentation states, connection variables are taken from the ``delegate_to`` host so ``ansible_host`` is overritten,
but you can still access the orignal via ``hostvars``::

oringal_host: "{{ hostvars[inventory_hostname]['ansible_host'] }}"

This works for all overriden connection variables, like ``ansible_user``, ``ansible_port``, etc.
