If you look at the meaning of the different syslog levels, NOTICE means that the event may need someone to look at it. Whereas INFO is pure informational.
Since module invocations are in fact requested (deliberate) actions, they shouldn't need any additional post-processing, and therefore should not be logged as NOTICE.
This may seem like hairsplitting, but correctly categorizing system events helps weeding through the noise downhill.
According to Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syslog
5 Notice notice Events that are unusual but not error conditions .
6 Informational info Normal operational messages -no action required. Example an application has started, paused or ended successfully.
* fixed a bug in which failures from a with_* loop were not being
caught correctly, leading to tasks continuing when they should stop
* when ignore_errors is enabled, the failure will no longer count
towards the number of failed tasks
Avoids a race condition where previously the registered variable message
was being sent after the 'host_task_ok' message, meaning the next task
may be started before the var is registered, leading to an undefined
variable error
The current code expects "uname -W" on AIX to always succeed. The AIX 5
instance I have doesn't support the -W flag and facts gathering always
crashes on it.
This skips some WPAR handling code if "uname -W" doesn't work.
- swapinfo on FreeBSD 6 (maybe 7 too?) doesn't support the "-m" flag for
fetching amounts in megabytes. This patch fetches amounts in kilobytes
and divides by 1024 (and also returns the result as an int instead of
a string).
- When no swap is configured, swapinfo prints a header line and nothing
else:
$ swapinfo
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
The old version unexpectedly parsed that header line and emitted
nonsense values like:
"ansible_swapfree_mb": "Avail"
"ansible_swaptotal_mb": "1K-blocks"
This version emits those items altogether.
