Thanks, The gist I posted before does something similar. It's strange though that it has to be so difficult. Yesterday when the need came up, I thought it would be dead easy :(

It isn't as easy as it should be, but you can use this code to do it:

ipaddress_eth1 = host["network"]["interfaces"]["eth1"]["addresses"].select { |address, data| data["family"] == "inet" }[0][0]
