Attributes

Attribute

Support

Description

check_mode

Support: full

Can run in check_mode and return changed status prediction without modifying target.

diff_mode

Support: none

Will return details on what has changed (or possibly needs changing in check_mode), when in diff mode.

Notes

Note

  • When state=present, the module will call supervisorctl reread then supervisorctl add if the program/group does not exist.

  • When state=restarted, the module will call supervisorctl update then call supervisorctl restart.

  • When state=absent, the module will call supervisorctl reread then supervisorctl remove to remove the target program/group. If the program/group is still running, the action will fail. If you want to stop the program/group before removing, use stop_before_removing=true.
