I’m looking for a way to run the tasks that inside the block by node by node but in other hand I need to send email once in the beginning and end of the activity - after all nodes were reboot
in my code example email was sent for each node the tasks are exec
note: I run the playbook via AWX
block:
name: Task 1
name: Task 2 - reboot node
reboot:
name: check node is up and running
uri:
url: http://SomeURL
method: GET
status_code: 200
register: _result
until: (_result.status == 200)
retries: 720 # 720 * 5 seconds = 1hour (60*60/5)
delay: 5 # Every 5 seconds
name: send email activity completed
run_once: true
mail:
name : restart app
hosts: DBserver
serial: 1
tasks:
name: send email activity start
run_once: true
mail:
block:
name: Task 1
name: Task 2 - reboot node

serial might not be the best option for your case. I’d consider using throttle, and consider using free strategy, so each server which reboots are checked immediately.
I’d use the throttle on the block level.
I wrote this some time back, which might be relevant to what you’re looking for.
Come to think of it, the reason you’re trying to throttle is to manage each reboot and check individually, rt?.. actually free strategy will allow you to do that, in a parallel queue. If I may be presumptuous, free strategy might be the thing you’re after in your case :).
