Action Plugins
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
These plugins act in conjunction with :doc:`modules <../modules>` to execute the actions required by playbook tasks.
|
|
They mostly execute automatically in the background doing prerequisite work for the modules of the same to be able to execute.
|
|
|
|
The 'normal' action plugin takes care of modules that do not already have an action plugin.

You can activate a custom action plugins by either dropping it into a ``action_plugins`` directory adjacent to your play or inside a role
|
|
or by putting it in one of the action plugin directory sources configured in :doc:`ansible.cfg <../config>`.
