Hi Guys,

I am new in Ansible. Whenever I try to run any playbook, gathering facts task will automatically run. How can I disable this task?

Hi@akhtar,

You can use gather_facts: no keyword in your playbook. It will disable this task automatically. You can also see the below playbook for more understanding.

- hosts: server
  gather_facts: no
  tasks:
  - name: Install httpd module
    package:
      name: httpd
      state: present
