module: set_fact
short_description: Set host facts from a task
description:
- This module allows setting new variables. Variables are set on a host-by-host basis
just like facts discovered by the setup module.
- These variables will survive between plays.
options:
key_value:
description:
- The C(set_fact) module takes key=value pairs as variables to set
in the playbook scope. Or alternatively, accepts complex arguments
using the C(args:) statement.
required: true
default: null
version_added: "1.2"

EXAMPLES = '''
# Example setting host facts using key=value pairs
- set_fact: one_fact="something" other_fact="{{ local_var * 2 }}"
# Example setting host facts using complex arguments
- set_fact:
one_fact: something
other_fact: "{{ local_var * 2 }}"
# As of 1.8, Ansible will convert boolean strings ('true', 'false', 'yes', 'no')
# to proper boolean values when using the key=value syntax, however it is still
# recommended that booleans be set using the complex argument style:
- set_fact:
one_fact: true
other_fact: false
