thanks for the reply Brian. Yes, it sounds like clear_host_errors i think will be too big of a hammer, I just want to ignore unreachable.
I'll have to figure something else out then, have a couple other scenarios in mind anyways, gonna also look at something like https://github.com/openstack/ara to have better logging/reporting on playbook runs so I can more easily find the failed hosts and rerun. ultimately just looking for a nice clean way to monitor and re-run failed executions, as well as easily distinguish things like connection failures vs actual failures where you know that running it again when the connection is up will work. I don't find AWX gives me a good enough view into this and am looking for a better overall strategy.
