Hi All, It seems like issues along these lines have been raised as bugs and closed several times... see https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/17500 I have created a role, which I intend to skip under certain circumstances. When the role is skipped, all tasks still run... OK... I don't

Stephen, if I understood your question/situation, I've dealt with the same issue in the past and my conclusion is that ansible's inventory (or in general the inventory of any automation system) isn't the right solution. What you're looking for is a CMDB or in other words an inventory/asset

I have a large number of out of band hardware (IBM IMM, routers owned by other groups, Dracs (which will be ansibled soon), and similar odd things) which I need to keep track of for various other software like nagios and maybe DNS configs. Since I keep all the other hosts in the ansible inventory

Thanks for the info! I tried this in my own environment, since I actually had a similar question before. Moved playbooks to a playbooks dir. Set role_path=./roles. This broke my include statements, which I now modified to '- include: "{{ roles_path }} /role_handlers_ant/handlers/main.yml"'.
