Dears,
I have just started checking out Ansible to handle automation on a set of dedicated servers.
I have built a fact file to collect information about the application that we want to handle.
For segregation purposes, i should move the fact files to a new location on the servers.
I did move the fact files to /opt/[company]/scripts/ansible/facts.d.
Then I updated ansible.cfg and added “fact_path=/opt/[company]/scripts/ansible/facts.d”
→ this did not work
I then updated inventory file and added group var “fact_path” for each group i use
→ this did not work
I finally added “fact_path” for each host entry in inventory …
→ this did not work
Where should i define fact_path ? ( preferably in a central location … not to update all playbooks used )
Thanks.
J
