I can check if a service is started(as below), but how do i use the service facts in Ansible to loop\wait until a service is active?
- name: Ensure myservice is in a running state
service:
name: myservice
state: started
This is very similar to @zigarn's answer above. In my case it was not enough to know that the service was started or running, I needed to know it was active, hence I'm posting what I went with. Thank you to all for your help
- name: Ensure myservice is in a running state
service:
name: myservice
state: started
register: myserviceDetails
until: myserviceDetails.status.ActiveState == "active"
retries: 15
delay: 20
