Action Plugins
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
Action plugins act in conjunction with :doc:`modules <../modules>` to execute the actions required by playbook tasks.
|
|
They usually execute automatically in the background doing prerequisite work before modules execute.
|
|
|
|
The 'normal' action plugin is used for modules that do not already have an action plugin.
|
|
|
|
Enabling Action Plugins
|
|
+++++++++++++++++++++++
|
|
|
|
You can enable a custom action plugin by either dropping it into the ``action_plugins`` directory adjacent to your play, inside a role, or by putting it in one of the action plugin directory sources configured in :doc:`ansible.cfg <../config>`.
