[Bug] Using variables adds a space in icinga director entries using static information works fine

[smitch35]

Description

We're using this module to automate some server deployment steps and we noticed that if we use "{{machine_name}}" for names and "{{ip_address}}" type variables in the code it's adding a space in front of the name and ip address. if we just "actual_name" and "actual_ip_address" it's fine and doesn't add any spaces.

Reproduction steps

Reference variables in code to add a host to director instead of using any static entires

Current Behavior

Adds a space to the front only of entries in director

Expected Behavior

No spaces in hostname and address fields in director

Additional information

No response

Can you please provide an example-playbook that reproduces the problem?

Also can you please provide the colection-version and director-version you're using?

Thanks!

         validate_certs: false
         force_basic_auth: true
         has_agent: true
         command_endpoint: "servername"

We're using 1.33.1 of this collection
We're on version 1.9.1 of director
Also the variables are defined via cli/imports. Thanks,

We found the issue. Someone didn't notice a space in a variable. I apologize for the extra noise.
