Thanks Matt! In the change log: [https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md#2.5](https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md#2.5) there is a link to “Network Best Practices for Ansible 2.5” which fails or maybe is just not ready yet. Text: in Changelog: While neither is technically a new plugin, these connections may now be used directly with network modules. See [Network Best Practices for Ansible 2.5](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network_best_practices_2.5.html) for more details. URL that fails: [http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network\_best\_practices\_2.5.html](http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/devel/network_best_practices_2.5.html) # Not Found The requested URL /ansible/devel/networking\_guide/network\_best\_practices\_2.5.html was not found on this server. ---

We are in the process of performing some docs restructuring, and the redirects are not yet in place.

Tag support in 2.5.0 is passing all the integration tests, so I’d be surprised if it’s not working, but If you’ve got a reproducible issue, please file it on Github. ---

With ansible 2.5.0.0 this task is not executed with -t monitoring: - name: "Monitoring scripts on {{ openldap\_role }}"   include\_tasks: "slapd\_monitoring.yml"   tags:     - monitoring It works correctly with ansible 2.4.4.
