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 be available to subsequent plays during an ansible-playbook run, but will not be saved across executions even if you use
|
|
a fact cache.
|
|
- Per the standard Ansible variable precedence rules, many other types of variables have a higher priority, so this value may be overridden.
|
|
See L(Variable Precedence Guide,../user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable) for more information.
|
|
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.

|
|
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
|
|
cacheable:
|
|
description:
|
|
- This boolean indicates if the facts set will also be added to the
|
|
fact cache, if fact caching is enabled.
|
|
type: bool
|
|
default: 'no'

|
version_added: "2.4"
|
|
version_added: "1.2"
|
|
notes:
|
|
- "The `var=value` notation can only create strings or booleans.
|
|
If you want to create lists/arrays or dictionary/hashes use `var: [val1, val2]`"
|
|
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.
|
|
- Since 'cacheable' is now a module param, 'cacheable' is no longer a valid fact name as of 2.4.
