ANSIBLE.FETCH(3)

NAME
fetch - Fetches a file from remote nodes

DESCRIPTION

This module works like copy, but in reverse. It is used for fetching files from remote machines and storing them locally in a file tree, organized by hostname. Note that this module is written to transfer log files that might not be present, so a missing remote file won't be an error unless fail_on_missing is set to 'yes'.

OPTIONS

dest
    A directory to save the file into. For example, if the dest directory is /backup a src file named /etc/profile on host host.example.com, would be saved into /backup/host.example.com/etc/profile(required)

fail_on_missing
    Makes it fails when the source file is missing. Choices: yes,no. (default: no)(Added in Ansible version 1.1.)

src The file on the remote system to fetch. This must be a file, not a directory. Recursive fetching may be supported in a later release.(required)."

EXAMPLES

Example from Ansible Playbooks
fetch: src=/var/log/messages dest=/home/logtree
None
