Hello,

I have multiple plays where we need to fail when one of the host has a failure, behaviour that we can configure by using “max\_fail\_percentage: 0” but we need to add this setting in each play which is really verbose and prone to errors if the developer miss it in a new play. Is there a way of setting up “max\_fail\_percentage” in the Ansible CFG or globally?

Thanks!

I don't think you can set max\_fail\_percentage, but you can set any\_errors\_fatal to true
