# config file for ansible -- http://ansible.github.com
# nearly all parameters can be overridden in ansible-playbook or with command line flags
# ansible will read ~/.ansible.cfg or /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg, whichever it finds first

[defaults]

# location of inventory file, eliminates need to specify -i

hostfile = /etc/ansible/hosts

# location of ansible library, eliminates need to specify --module-path

library = /usr/share/ansible

# default module name used in /usr/bin/ansible when -m is not specified

module_name = command

# location for ansible log file.  If set, will store output from ansible 
# and ansible-playbook.  If enabling, you may wish to configure
# logrotate.

#log_path = /var/log/ansible.log

# home directory where temp files are stored on remote systems.  Should
# almost always contain $HOME or be a directory writeable by all users

remote_tmp = $HOME/.ansible/tmp

# the default pattern for ansible-playbooks ("hosts:")

pattern = *

# the default number of forks (parallelism) to be used.  Usually you
# can crank this up.

forks=5

# the timeout used by various connection types.  Usually this corresponds
# to an SSH timeout

timeout=10

# when using --poll or "poll:" in an ansible playbook, and not specifying
# an explicit poll interval, use this interval

poll_interval=15

# when specifying --sudo to /usr/bin/ansible or "sudo:" in a playbook,
# and not specifying "--sudo-user" or "sudo_user" respectively, sudo
# to this user account

sudo_user=root

# the following forces ansible to always ask for the sudo password (instead of having
# to add -K to the commandline). Or you can use the environment variable (ANSIBLE_ASK_SUDO_PASS)

#ask_sudo_pass=True

# the following forces ansible to always ask for the ssh-password (-k)
# can also be set by the environment variable ANSIBLE_ASK_PASS

#ask_pass=True

# connection to use when -c <connection_type> is not specified

transport=paramiko

# remote SSH port to be used when --port or "port:" or an equivalent inventory
# variable is not specified.

remote_port=22

# if set, always run /usr/bin/ansible commands as this user, and assume this value
# if "user:" is not set in a playbook.  If not set, use the current Unix user
# as the default

#remote_user=root

# the default sudo executable. If a sudo alternative with a sudo-compatible interface
# is used, specify its executable name as the default

sudo_exe=sudo

# the default flags passed to sudo
# sudo_flags=-H

# all commands executed under sudo are passed as arguments to a shell command
# This shell command defaults to /bin/sh
# Changing this helps the situation where a user is only allowed to run
# e.g. /bin/bash with sudo privileges

# executable = /bin/sh

# how to handle hash defined in several places
# hash can be merged, or replaced
# if you use replace, and have multiple hashes named 'x', the last defined
# will override the previously defined one
# if you use merge here, hash will cumulate their keys, but keys will still
# override each other
# replace is the default value, and is how ansible always handled hash variables
#
# hash_behaviour=replace

# if you need to use jinja2 extensions, you can list them here
# use a coma to separate extensions, e.g. :
# jinja2_extensions=jinja2.ext.do,jinja2.ext.i18n
# no extensions are loaded by default

#jinja2_extensions=

# if set, always use this private key file for authentication, same as if passing
# --private-key to ansible or ansible-playbook

#private_key_file=/path/to/file

# format of string $ansible_managed available within Jinja2 templates, replacing
# {file}, {host} and {uid} with template filename, host and owner respectively.
# The resulting string is passed through strftime(3) so it may contain any
# time-formatting specifiers.
#
# Example: ansible_managed = DONT TOUCH {file}: call {uid} at {host} for changes
ansible_managed = Ansible managed: {file} modified on %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S by {uid} on {host}
