In my post task I insert the web servers back into the pool. What’s a good way to make sure Apache is running prior to running the post task section? post\_tasks: - name: enable in the lb netscaler: nsc\_host={{nsc\_host}} user={{nsc\_user}} password={{nsc\_pass}} name={{name}} type={{type}} action=enable validate\_certs=no delegate\_to: 127.0.0.1 ---

I’m an idiot, I didn’t realize I could have multiple tasks in a post\_task. 😃 I added a new task to check for the webs and it works.
