module: fetch

short_description: Fetches a file from remote nodes
|
|
description:
|
|
- This module works like M(copy), but in reverse. It is used for fetching
|
|
files from remote machines and storing them locally in a file tree,
|
|
organized by hostname. Note that this module is written to transfer
|
|
log files that might not be present, so a missing remote file won't
|
|
be an error unless fail_on_missing is set to 'yes'.

options:
|
|
src:
|
|
description:
|
|
- The file on the remote system to fetch. This I(must) be a file, not a
|
|
directory. Recursive fetching may be supported in a later release.

required: true

default: null

aliases: []
|
|
dest:
|
|
description:
|
|
- A directory to save the file into. For example, if the I(dest)
|
|
directory is C(/backup) a I(src) file named C(/etc/profile) on host
|
|
C(host.example.com), would be saved into
|
|
C(/backup/host.example.com/etc/profile)
|
|
required: true

default: null

fail_on_missing:

version_added: "1.1"

description:

- Makes it fails when the source file is missing.

Allows you to override the default behavior of prepending hostname/path/to/file to
|
|
the destination. If dest ends with '/', it will use the basename of the source
|
|
file, similar to the copy module. Obvioiusly this is only handy if the filenames
|
|
are unqiue.
|
|
examples:
|
|
- code: "fetch: src=/var/log/messages dest=/home/logtree"

- code: "fetch: src=/tmp/somefile dest="/tmp/beefcake-{{ ansible_hostname }}" flat=yes"
|
|
description: "Copies a file from remote machine and stores it at the absolute path /tmp/beefcake-{{ ansible_hostname }}"
|
|
- code: "fetch: src=/tmp/uniquefile dest="/tmp/special/" flat=yes"

|
description: "Copies a file from remote machine and stores it at the absolute path /tmp/special"
|
|
- code: "fetch: src=/tmp/uniquefile dest="special/" flat=yes"
