Thanks for your help. There was an issue in one of the hosts in the
inventory. Once I removed that host from the inventory it worked fine.
I created a custom facts in one of the hosts as below. Not sure what the
issue is but it is not working.
- name: Create a custom facts file
hosts: database
become: true
become_user: root
gather_facts: true
tasks:
- name: Create a custom facts directory
file:
path: /etc/ansible/facts.d
state: directory
- name: Create a custom facts
template:
src: templates/custom.fact.j2
dest: /etc/ansible/facts.d/custom.fact
- name: Print ansible_local
debug: var=ansible_local
- name: Print the custom facts value
debug:
msg: "{{ ansible_local.custom.sample_exam }}"
[automation@workstation plays]$ cat templates/custom.fact.j2
[sample_exam]
server_role=mysql
[automation@workstation plays]$
[automation@workstation plays]$ ansible-playbook facts.yml
