Thanks for the reply but we have an automated system that runs the ansible and store the inventory files in source control so it’s a bit complicated to edit the inventory. Is there no other way other than to change the inventory file every time?

When I encounter that I edit the inventory and comment out the down host.

Is there any way to configure gather-facts in these plays to not fail if this is the case? Due to the size of our plant we sometimes need to take down a compute host for maintenance and still provisiion new ones. We are using Victoria. Thanks a lot -aidan
