# config file for ansible -- https://ansible.com/ # =============================================== # nearly all parameters can be overridden in ansible-playbook # or with command line flags. ansible will read ANSIBLE_CONFIG, # ansible.cfg in the current working directory, .ansible.cfg in # the home directory or /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg, whichever it # finds first [defaults] # some basic default values... #inventory = /etc/ansible/hosts #library = /usr/share/my_modules/ #module_utils = /usr/share/my_module_utils/ #remote_tmp = ~/.ansible/tmp #local_tmp = ~/.ansible/tmp #plugin_filters_cfg = /etc/ansible/plugin_filters.yml #forks = 5 #poll_interval = 15 #sudo_user = root #ask_sudo_pass = True #ask_pass = True #transport = smart #remote_port = 22 #module_lang = C #module_set_locale = False # plays will gather facts by default, which contain information about # the remote system. # # smart - gather by default, but don't regather if already gathered # implicit - gather by default, turn off with gather_facts: False # explicit - do not gather by default, must say gather_facts: True #gathering = implicit # This only affects the gathering done by a play's gather_facts directive, # by default gathering retrieves all facts subsets # all - gather all subsets # network - gather min and network facts # hardware - gather hardware facts (longest facts to retrieve) # virtual - gather min and virtual facts # facter - import facts from facter # ohai - import facts from ohai # You can combine them using comma (ex: network,virtual) # You can negate them using !
