I explain my problem
I get an inventory of 10,000 servers (Linux) through a python in json format, I have a playbook that is responsible for collecting information from the servers and at the end with java I assemble a final report
It is very common that a server has a problem with some file system or that when logging by ssh does not return the promt.
The serious problem is that when I run my playbook and Ansible encounters any of those servers, Ansible stops progressing and hangs or stays on hold and does not show me the trace of which server is with the problem. Even if it is only a ping-pong, it does not advance either.
My temporary solution is to exclude it inside the python so that Ansible does not consider it as inventory and thus finish the process, but it is not the best solution.
My question is if Ansible has a way to give a timeout on the servers where they connect but not return and skip them to continue and finish the process with the remaining servers.
My version of ansible is ansible 2.1.2.0
