[Klug-general] Ansible

[Kevin Groves]

LOL I would suggest switching off that host for system checks at run 
time. I've had it do something like this myself and I think it comes 
down to the auto gather facts failing due to some non-dependancy at the 
client end. You can turn off the gather facts for all hosts (makes it 
run quicker - and then only check hosts you want) or switch it off on a 
host basis. Now you are going to ask how :-)

Take a look here:

http://docs.ansible.com/playbooks_variables.html#turning-off-facts

- hosts: whatever
   gather_facts: no



That will switch it all off and what I would then do is run any specific fact gathering on a host by host basis, although tbh if you know your systems then you shouldn't really need to do this.

Kev,
