Ansible Debugging
Overview
Ansible errors fall into four categories: connection, authentication, module, and syntax. Systematic diagnosis starts with identifying the category, then isolating the specific cause.
When to Use
- UNREACHABLE errors (SSH/network issues)
- Permission denied or sudo password errors
- MODULE FAILURE messages
- Undefined variable errors
- Template rendering failures
- Slow playbook execution
