template module to write the files using those templates.</p>
<p>Templates are written in <a class="reference external" href="http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/">Jinja2</a>
format. <a class="reference internal" href="playbooks.html"><em>Playbooks</em></a> will run the setup module for you, making
this even simpler:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">$ </span>ansible webservers -m setup -a <span class="s2">&quot;favcolor=red ntp_server=192.168.1.1&quot;</span>

</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Ansible variables are used in templates by using the name surrounded
by double curly-braces. Ansible provides some <em>facts</em> about the
system being managed automatically in playbooks or when the setup
module is run manually. If facter or ohai were installed on the
remote machine, variables from those programs can be accessed too,
using the appropriate prefix:</p>
<div class="highlight-django"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="x">This is an Ansible variable: </span><span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nv">favcolor</span> <span class="cp">}}</span><span class="x"></span>
<span class="x">This is an Ansible fact: </span><span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nv">ansible_hostname</span> <span class="cp">}}</span><span class="x"></span>

<span class="x">This is an ohai fact: </span><span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nv">ohai_foo</span> <span class="cp">}}</span><span class="x"></span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Using the Ansible facts is generally preferred as that way you can avoid a dependency
on ruby. If you want to use facter instead, you will also need rubygem-json because
the facter packages may forget this as a dependency.</p>

<p>What hosts you select to manage can be additionally constrained by using the &#8216;&#8211;limit&#8217; parameter or
by using &#8216;batch&#8217; (or &#8216;range&#8217;) selectors.</p>
<p>As mentioned above, patterns can be strung together to select hosts in more than one group:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">$ </span>ansible webservers:dbservers -m <span class="nb">command</span> -a <span class="s2">&quot;/bin/foo xyz&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>This is an &#8220;or&#8221; condition. If you want to further constrain the selection, use &#8211;limit, which
also works with <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">ansible-playbook</span></tt>:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">$ </span>ansible webservers:dbservers -m <span class="nb">command</span> -a <span class="s2">&quot;/bin/foo xyz&quot;</span> region
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Now let&#8217;s talk about range selection. Suppose you have 1000 servers in group &#8216;datacenter&#8217;, but only want to target one at a time. This is also easy:</p>
<div class="highlight-bash"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="nv">$ </span>ansible webservers<span class="o">[</span>0-100<span class="o">]</span> -m <span class="nb">command</span> -a <span class="s2">&quot;/bin/foo xyz&quot;</span>
<span class="nv">$ </span>ansible webservers<span class="o">[</span>101-200<span class="o">]</span> -m <span class="nb">command</span> -a <span class="s2">&quot;/bin/foo xyz&quot;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Both of these methods can be used at the same time, and ranges can also be passed to the &#8211;limit parameter.</p>

template module to write the files using those templates.
Templates are written in `Jinja2 <http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/>`_
format. :doc:`playbooks` will run the setup module for you, making
this even simpler::
$ ansible webservers -m setup -a "favcolor=red ntp_server=192.168.1.1"
$ ansible webservers -m template -a "src=/srv/motd.j2 dest=/etc/motd"
$ ansible webservers -m template -a "src=/srv/ntp.j2 dest=/etc/ntp.conf"
Ansible variables are used in templates by using the name surrounded
by double curly-braces. Ansible provides some *facts* about the
system being managed automatically in playbooks or when the setup
module is run manually. If facter or ohai were installed on the
remote machine, variables from those programs can be accessed too,
using the appropriate prefix:
.. code-block:: django
This is an Ansible variable: {{ favcolor }}
This is an Ansible fact: {{ ansible_hostname }}
This is a facter fact: {{ facter_hostname }}
This is an ohai fact: {{ ohai_foo }}
Using the Ansible facts is generally preferred as that way you can avoid a dependency
on ruby. If you want to use facter instead, you will also need rubygem-json because
the facter packages may forget this as a dependency.

Limiting Selected Hosts
```````````````````````
.. versionadded:: 0.7
What hosts you select to manage can be additionally constrained by using the '--limit' parameter or
by using 'batch' (or 'range') selectors.
As mentioned above, patterns can be strung together to select hosts in more than one group::
$ ansible webservers:dbservers -m command -a "/bin/foo xyz"
This is an "or" condition. If you want to further constrain the selection, use --limit, which
also works with ``ansible-playbook``::
$ ansible webservers:dbservers -m command -a "/bin/foo xyz" region
Now let's talk about range selection. Suppose you have 1000 servers in group 'datacenter', but only want to target one at a time. This is also easy::
$ ansible webservers[0-99] -m command -a "/bin/foo xyz"
$ ansible webservers[100-199] -m command -a "/bin/foo xyz"
This will select the first 100, then the second 100, host entries in the webservers group. (It does not matter
what their names or IP addresses are).
Both of these methods can be used at the same time, and ranges can also be passed to the --limit parameter.
