After running an Ansible playbook with the ansible-playbook command, I get an output as below.

What exactly do these numbers mean? What is the unit of these numbers? For example, when it says ok=18, does it mean 18 tasks?

 ____________
< PLAY RECAP >
 ------------

localhost                  :
    ok=18   changed=8    unreachable=0    failed=0    
    skipped=4    rescued=0    ignored=2

That output means that:

  • 18 tasks have been executed without errors and they didn't change nothing.
  • 8 tasks have been executed and they did change something on the hosts.
  • 4 tasks haven't been executed because the condition in when was false.
  • 2 tasks have been executed with error but they had ignore_errors: true.
