just 'cause people build bad systems that insist on not allowing
updates in an atomic manner and force us to do them in a very
unsafe way that has race conditions and can lead to many issues.
if using this option you should really be opening a bug report with
the system that only allows for this type of update.
and now i shower though i doubt i'll feel clean
* In 2.0.0.x become was reversed for synchronize. It was happening on
the local machine instead of the remote machine. This restores the
ansible-1.9.x behaviour of doing become on the remote machine.
However, there's aspects of this that are hacky (no hackier than
ansible-1.9 but not using 2.0 features). The big problem is that it
does not understand any become method except sudo. I'm willing to use
a partial fix now because we don't want people to get used to the
reversed semantics in their playbooks.
* synchronize copying to the wrong host when inventory_hostname is
localhost
* Fix problem with unicode arguments (first seen as a bug on synchronize)
Fixes#14041Fixes#13825
* now module errors clearly state msg=MODULE FAILURE
* module's stdout and stderr go into module_stdout and module_stderr keys
which only appear during parsing failure
* invocation module_args are deleted from results provided by action
plugin as errors can keep us from overwriting and then disclosing info that
was meant to be kept hidden due to no_log
* fixed invocation module_args set by basic.py as it was creating different
keys as the invocation in action plugin base.
* results now merge
It is natural that an argument_spec with choises=BOOLEAN accepts
boolean literal (True, False) though the current implementation
allows only string or int.
(Reminder: cannot use six here, module_utils get shipped to remote
machines that may not have six installed -- besides six doens't support
Python 2.4.)
* allow global no_log setting, no need to set at play or task level, but can be overriden by them
* allow turning off syslog only on task execution from target host (manage_syslog), overlaps with no_log functionality
* created log function for task modules to use, now we can remove all syslog references, will use systemd journal if present
* added debug flag to modules, so they can make it call new log function conditionally
* added debug logging in module's run_command
Make the code compatible with Pythons 2.4 through 3.5 by using
sys.exc_info()[1] instead.
This is necessary but not sufficient for Python 3 compatibility.
If you look at the meaning of the different syslog levels, NOTICE means that the event may need someone to look at it. Whereas INFO is pure informational.
Since module invocations are in fact requested (deliberate) actions, they shouldn't need any additional post-processing, and therefore should not be logged as NOTICE.
This may seem like hairsplitting, but correctly categorizing system events helps weeding through the noise downhill.
According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog
5 Notice notice Events that are unusual but not error conditions .
6 Informational info Normal operational messages -no action required. Example an application has started, paused or ended successfully.
