Hi
For the handler you have to explicitly state to use the "service" instead
of "systemctl" command. For me it worked with a notify and a handler
definition like so:
- name: restart auditd
systemd:
name: auditd
state: restarted
use: service
With that handler you can use "notify: restart auditd" in your task and
that should work. I'm working with RHEL 7 but that should not be different
from centOS 7 in that regard.
Best,
Cyril
