Then, um, fix what's wrong. (?) I'd be more specific, but you didn't give me much to work with. Post the task and relevant variables.
Note the "path:" I used on my localhost isn't what you need.
Also, I didn't add the those extra data you want to add:
*'$request_time ' '$upstream_response_time ' '$upstream_connect_time' '$upstream_header_time' *
it should be obvious where that would go, but if not, post with some details - tasks, variables, and output - and we'll help you get it working. One last thing if you aren't already doing it: use "-D" or "--diff" on the command line to see the changes.

    Hello,
    I am trying to update nginx file, I need to add 4 more lines
    before the  ;  I tried blockinfile, lineinfile, replace and sed
    but I am unable to get the required output
    ex: the below one is some part of my nginx file,
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]
    "$request" '
              '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
              '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"';


    I need to add *'$request_time ' '$upstream_response_time '
    '$upstream_connect_time' '$upstream_header_time'    to the
    existing line  before the ; *
    *blockinfile is somewhat worked but the nginx file end up having
    ; after * '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'
    my desired output is
    log_format  main  '$remote_addr - $remote_user [$time_local]
    "$request" '
              '$status $body_bytes_sent "$http_referer" '
              '"$http_user_agent" "$http_x_forwarded_for"'
    *'$request_time ' '$upstream_response_time '
    '$upstream_connect_time' '$upstream_header_time' *;

    someone please help me with a solution, I have lot of servers
    across multiple environments which cannot be done manually.
