Secure Logging Variables

The following Variables compliment each other. If Both variables are not set, secure logging defaults to false. The role defaults to False as normally the task to cancel jobs does not include sensitive information. controller_configuration_jobs_cancel_secure_logging defaults to the value of aap_configuration_secure_logging if it is not explicitly called. This allows for secure logging to be toggled for the entire suite of controller configuration roles with a single variable, or for the user to selectively use it.

Variable Name Default Value Required Description
controller_configuration_jobs_cancel_secure_logging False no Whether or not to include the sensitive ad_hoc_command role tasks in the log. Set this value to True if you will be providing your sensitive values from elsewhere.
aap_configuration_secure_logging False no This variable enables secure logging as well, but is shared across multiple roles, see above.

Data Structure

Cancel Jobs Variables

Variable Name Default Value Required Type Description

fail_if_not_running False no bool Fail loudly if the job can not be canceled.
