profile_tasks - adds time information to tasks
New in version 2.0.
Synopsis
- Ansible callback plugin for timing individual tasks and overall execution time.
- Mashup of 2 excellent original works: https://github.com/jlafon/ansible-profile, https://github.com/junaid18183/ansible_home/blob/master/ansible_plugins/callback_plugins/timestamp.py.old
- Format:
<task start timestamp> (<length of previous task>
<current elapsed playbook execution time>) - It also lists the top/bottom time consuming tasks in the summary (configurable)
- Before 2.4 only the environment variables were available for configuration.
