short_description: Execute Ansible 'actions'
|
|
version_added: "1.2"
|
|
description:
|
|
- Meta tasks are a special kind of task which can influence Ansible internal execution or state. Prior to Ansible 2.0,
|
|
the only meta option available was `flush_handlers`. As of 2.2, there are five meta tasks which can be used.
|
|
Meta tasks can be used anywhere within your playbook.
|
|
options:
|
|
free_form:
|
|
description:
|
|
- This module takes a free form command, as a string. There's not an actual option named "free form". See the examples!
|
|
- "C(flush_handlers) makes Ansible run any handler tasks which have thus far been notified. Ansible inserts these tasks internally at certain points to implicitly trigger handler runs (after pre/post tasks, the final role execution, and the main tasks section of your plays)."
|
|
- "C(refresh_inventory) (added in 2.0) forces the reload of the inventory, which in the case of dynamic inventory scripts means they will be re-executed. This is mainly useful when additional hosts are created and users wish to use them instead of using the `add_host` module."
|
|
- "C(noop) (added in 2.0) This literally does 'nothing'. It is mainly used internally and not recommended for general use."
|
|
- "C(clear_facts) (added in 2.1) causes the gathered facts for the hosts specified in the play's list of hosts to be cleared, including the fact cache."
|
|
- "C(clear_host_errors) (added in 2.1) clears the failed state (if any) from hosts specified in the play's list of hosts."
|
|
choices: ['noop', 'flush_handlers', 'refresh_inventory', 'clear_facts', 'clear_host_errors']
|
|
required: true
|
|
default: null
|
|
notes:
|
|
- meta is not really a module nor action_plugin as such it cannot be overriden.
