- You can specify multiple services at once by separating them with commas, .e.g., C(services=httpd,nfs,puppet).
- When specifying what service to handle there is a special service value, I(host), which will handle alerts/downtime for the I(host itself), e.g., C(service=host). This keyword may not be given with other services at the same time. I(Setting alerts/downtime for a host does not affect alerts/downtime for any of the services running on it.) To schedule downtime for all services on particular host use keyword "all", e.g., C(service=all).
- When using the M(nagios) module you will need to specify your Nagios server using the C(delegate_to) parameter.
- Pauses playbook execution for a set amount of time, or until a prompt is acknowledged. All parameters are optional. The default behavior is to pause with a prompt.
- "You can use C(ctrl+c) if you wish to advance a pause earlier than it is set to expire or if you need to abort a playbook run entirely. To continue early: press C(ctrl+c) and then C(c). To abort a playbook: press C(ctrl+c) and then C(a)."
- "The pause module integrates into async/parallelized playbooks without any special considerations (see also: Rolling Updates). When using pauses with the C(serial) playbook parameter (as in rolling updates) you are only prompted once for the current group of hosts."
