short_description: Set host facts from a task
description:
- This module allows setting new variables. Variables are set on a host-by-host basis just like facts discovered by the setup module.
- These variables will be available to subsequent plays during an ansible-playbook run, but will not be saved across executions even if you use
a fact cache.
- These variables will be available to subsequent plays during an ansible-playbook run.
- Set C(cacheable) to C(yes) to save variables across executions
using a fact cache. Variables created with set_fact have different precedence depending on whether they are or are not cached.
- Per the standard Ansible variable precedence rules, many other types of variables have a higher priority, so this value may be overridden.
See L(Variable Precedence Guide,../user_guide/playbooks_variables.html#variable-precedence-where-should-i-put-a-variable) for more information.
- This module is also supported for Windows targets.
