You can wait for a set amount of time C(timeout), this is the default if nothing is specified.
Waiting for a port to become available is useful for when services are not immediately available after their init scripts return which is true of certain Java application servers.
You can wait for a file to exist or not exist on the filesystem.
This module can also be used to wait for a regex match string to be present in a file.
You can wait for active connections to be closed before continuing on a local port.
- name: Wait 300 seconds for port 8000 to become open on the host, don't start checking for 10 seconds win_wait_for: port: 8000 delay: 10
- name: Wait 150 seconds for port 8000 of any IP to close active connections win_wait_for: host: 0.0.0.0 port: 8000 state: drained timeout: 150
- name: Wait for port 8000 of any IP to close active connection, ignoring certain hosts win_wait_for: host: 0.0.0.0 port: 8000 state: drained exclude_hosts: ['10.2.1.2', '10.2.1.3']
- name: Wait for file C:\temp\log.txt to exist before continuing win_wait_for: path: C:\temp\log.txt
- name: Wait until process complete is in the file before continuing win_wait_for: path: C:\temp\log.txt regex: process complete
- name: Wait until file is removed win_wait_for: path: C:\temp\log.txt state: absent
- name: Wait until port 1234 is offline but try every 10 seconds win_wait_for: port: 1234 state: absent sleep: 10
host: default: 127.0.0.1 description: - A resolvable hostname or IP address to wait for. - If C(state=drained) then it will only check for connections on the IP specified, you can use '0.0.0.0' to use all host IPs. type: str path: description: - The path to a file on the filesystem to check. - If C(state) is present or started then it will wait until the file exists. - If C(state) is absent then it will wait until the file does not exist. type: path port: description: - The port number to poll on C(host). type: int delay: description: - The number of seconds to wait before starting to poll. type: int regex: aliases: - search_regex - regexp description: - Can be used to match a string in a file. - If C(state) is present or started then it will wait until the regex matches. - If C(state) is absent then it will wait until the regex does not match. - Defaults to a multiline regex. type: str sleep: default: 1 description: - Number of seconds to sleep between checks. type: int state: choices: - absent - drained - present - started - stopped default: started description: - When checking a port, C(started) will ensure the port is open, C(stopped) will check that is it closed and C(drained) will check for active connections. - When checking for a file or a search string C(present) or C(started) will ensure that the file or string is present, C(absent) will check that the file or search string is absent or removed. type: str timeout: default: 300 description: - The maximum number of seconds to wait for. type: int exclude_hosts: description: - The list of hosts or IPs to ignore when looking for active TCP connections when C(state=drained). type: list connect_timeout: default: 5 description: - The maximum number of seconds to wait for a connection to happen before closing and retrying. type: int
elapsed: description: The elapsed seconds between the start of poll and the end of the module. This includes the delay if the option is set. returned: always sample: 2.1406487 type: float wait_attempts: description: The number of attempts to poll the file or port before module finishes. returned: always sample: 1 type: int
