Plugin Filter Configuration¶
Ansible 2.5 adds the ability for a site administrator to blacklist modules that they do not want to
be available to Ansible. This is configured via a yaml configuration file (by default,
/etc/ansible/plugin_filters.yml). Use plugin_filters_cfg configuration
in defaults section to change this configuration file path. The format of the file is:
---
filter_version: '1.0'
module_blacklist:
# Deprecated
- docker
# We only allow pip, not easy_install
- easy_install
The file contains two fields:
a version so that it will be possible to update the format while keeping backwards compatibility in the future. The present version should be the string,
"1.0"a list of modules to blacklist. Any module listed here will not be found by Ansible when it searches for a module to invoke for a task.
Note
The stat module is required for Ansible to run. So, please make sure you do not add this module in a blacklist modules list.
