Hi,
I have a use case where I am automating switch patching where engineers can select a switch name and playbook name from a web portal.
I would to like to handle an exception if engineers select a wrong switch/playbook.
But the problem is all the tasks are skipped if engineers select a wrong switch or wrong playbook which is expected.
But I want to make sure to send them a notification if this happens. Is there any way to do that?
Thank you in advance.
Best wishes,
Bikram
This is a very academic question. To avoid having to do hypothetical exercises and lots of guessing - please share your playbooks and the inventory that your “web portal” supplies (or any other relevant data).
In short we need more information.
At first glance this sounds like a problem that is out

You can perform custom actions when something fails. I guess there are also ways to control if your job needs to fail or skip to next. I havent tried it though, check out ansible docs.
