|
|
(configurable via the C(defaults) section of C(ansible.cfg)) contains a string
|
|
which can be used to describe the template name, host, modification time of the
|
|
template file and the owner uid, C(template_host) contains the node name of
|
|
the template's machine, C(template_uid) the owner, C(template_path) the
|
|
absolute path of the template, C(template_fullpath) is the absolute path of the
|
|
template, and C(template_run_date) is the date that the template was rendered. Note that including
|
|
a string that uses a date in the template will result in the template being marked 'changed'
