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.
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"
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]`"
'''
EXAMPLES = '''
# Example setting host facts using key=value pairs, note that this always creates strings or booleans
- set_fact:
one_fact: "something"
other_fact: "{{ local_var }}"
# Example setting host facts using complex arguments
- set_fact:
one_fact: something
other_fact: "{{ local_var * 2 }}"
another_fact: "{{ some_registered_var.results | map(attribute='ansible_facts.some_fact') | list }}"
# 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
