Multiple registers per task and data manipulation

.. versionadded:: fallible

Note

This feature has not been included in a released version of ansible-core yet, and is a tech preview as part of fallible.

This feature allows a playbook author to register multiple variables on a task, manipulate the data before registered to that variable, and provides implicit register names scoped to a single task. Individual loop results cannot be manipulated, this feature only applies to the final task result.

dump_stats Ansible callback plugin

This callback plugin can aid in replicating the set_stats workflow behavior in Tower

It allows you to dump the stats set with set_stats to a file, and then use that file with --extra-vars in subsequent ansible-playbook calls.

Usage

1. Download dump_stats.py file to a callback_plugins directory relative to your playbook
2. Run ansible-playbook with ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_WHITELIST=dump_stats
