# (string) When a collection is loaded that does not support the running Ansible version (with the collection metadata key `requires_ansible`).
;collections_on_ansible_version_mismatch=warning

# (pathspec) Colon separated paths in which Ansible will search for collections content. Collections must be in nested *subdirectories*, not directly in these directories. For example, if ``COLLECTIONS_PATHS`` includes ``'{{ ANSIBLE_HOME ~ "/collections" }}'``, and you want to add ``my.collection`` to that directory, it must be saved as ``'{{ ANSIBLE_HOME} ~ "/collections/ansible_collections/my/collection" }}'``.

# (boolean) When enabled, this option allows lookup plugins (whether used in variables as ``{{lookup('foo')}}`` or as a loop as with_foo) to return data that is not marked 'unsafe'.
# By default, such data is marked as unsafe to prevent the templating engine from evaluating any jinja2 templating language, as this could represent a security risk.

# (boolean) Toggles debug output in Ansible. This is *very* verbose and can hinder multiprocessing.  Debug output can also include secret information despite no_log settings being enabled, which means debug mode should not be used in production.
;debug=False

# (string) This indicates the command to use to spawn a shell under for Ansible's execution needs on a target. Users may need to change this in rare instances when shell usage is constrained, but in most cases it may be left as is.
;executable=/bin/sh

# (string) This option allows you to globally configure a custom path for 'local_facts' for the implied :ref:`ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.setup_module` task when using fact gathering.
# If not set, it will fallback to the default from the ``ansible.builtin.setup`` module: ``/etc/ansible/facts.d``.
# This does **not** affect  user defined tasks that use the ``ansible.builtin.setup`` module.
# The real action being created by the implicit task is currently    ``ansible.legacy.gather_facts`` module, which then calls the configured fact modules, by default this will be ``ansible.builtin.setup`` for POSIX systems but other platforms might have different defaults.

# (list) Set the `gather_subset` option for the :ref:`ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.setup_module` task in the implicit fact gathering. See the module documentation for specifics.

# (integer) Set the timeout in seconds for the implicit fact gathering, see the module documentation for specifics.
# It does **not** apply to user defined :ref:`ansible_collections.ansible.builtin.setup_module` tasks.
;gather_timeout=

# (string) This setting controls how duplicate definitions of dictionary variables (aka hash, map, associative array) are handled in Ansible.
# This does not affect variables whose values are scalars (integers, strings) or arrays.
# **WARNING**, changing this setting is not recommended as this is fragile and makes your content (plays, roles, collections) non portable, leading to continual confusion and misuse. Don't change this setting unless you think you have an absolute need for it.
# We recommend avoiding reusing variable names and relying on the ``combine`` filter and ``vars`` and ``varnames`` lookups to create merged versions of the individual variables. In our experience this is rarely really needed and a sign that too much complexity has been introduced into the data structures and plays.
# For some uses you can also look into custom vars_plugins to merge on input, even substituting the default ``host_group_vars`` that is in charge of parsing the ``host_vars/`` and ``group_vars/`` directories. Most users of this setting are only interested in inventory scope, but the setting itself affects all sources and makes debugging even harder.
# All playbooks and roles in the official examples repos assume the default for this setting.
# Changing the setting to ``merge`` applies across variable sources, but many sources will internally still overwrite the variables. For example ``include_vars`` will dedupe variables internally before updating Ansible, with 'last defined' overwriting previous definitions in same file.
# The Ansible project recommends you **avoid ``merge`` for new projects.**
# It is the intention of the Ansible developers to eventually deprecate and remove this setting, but it is being kept as some users do heavily rely on it. New projects should **avoid 'merge'**.

;null_representation=

# (integer) For asynchronous tasks in Ansible (covered in Asynchronous Actions and Polling), this is how often to check back on the status of those tasks when an explicit poll interval is not supplied.

;verbosity=0

# (boolean) Toggle to control the showing of deprecation warnings
;deprecation_warnings=True

# (boolean) Toggle to control showing warnings related to running devel
;devel_warning=True

# (boolean) Normally ``ansible-playbook`` will print a header for each task that is run. These headers will contain the name: field from the task if you specified one. If you didn't then ``ansible-playbook`` uses the task's action to help you tell which task is presently running. Sometimes you run many of the same action and so you want more information about the task to differentiate it from others of the same action. If you set this variable to True in the config then ``ansible-playbook`` will also include the task's arguments in the header.

# (string) Path to the Python interpreter to be used for module execution on remote targets, or an automatic discovery mode. Supported discovery modes are ``auto`` (the default), ``auto_silent``, ``auto_legacy``, and ``auto_legacy_silent``. All discovery modes employ a lookup table to use the included system Python (on distributions known to include one), falling back to a fixed ordered list of well-known Python interpreter locations if a platform-specific default is not available. The fallback behavior will issue a warning that the interpreter should be set explicitly (since interpreters installed later may change which one is used). This warning behavior can be disabled by setting ``auto_silent`` or ``auto_legacy_silent``. The value of ``auto_legacy`` provides all the same behavior, but for backwards-compatibility with older Ansible releases that always defaulted to ``/usr/bin/python``, will use that interpreter if present.
