Looking for a Way to Set a Global Task Timeout in Ansible

Get Help
4

It does work for me: I created an ansible.cfg file:

[defaults]
task_timeout=2

next to a test playbook:

- hosts: localhost
  gather_facts: false
  tasks:
    - ansible.builtin.command: /bin/sh -c 'sleep 10'

When running the playbook, I get:

[ERROR]: Task failed: Action failed: The ansible.builtin.command action failed to execute in the expected time frame (2) and was terminated
