Here's what i do.
- name: Schedule Nagios downtime
nagios: action=downtime minutes=20 service="{{ item }}"
host="{{ inventory_hostname }}" author="Ansible Bot"
comment="Planned maintenance"
delegate_to: "{{ nagios_server }}"
with_items:
- host
- all
I have {{nagios_server}} set to the name of the server that runs Nagios.
Make sure you use {{inventory_hostname}}; in your post you wrote
{{inventor_hostname}}, which is most likely not defined and won't work.
