Option to disable callbacks for localhost-like entries #1527

You can disable the callback using an environment variable: Would that suffice? |

That would technically accomplish the task, but ergonomically it's a pain. On top of our team having to add edit: I'm happy to take a stab at implementing this, doesn't look too complicated on first glance. Just wanted to report first to make sure my PR would even be considered. |

So I must admit I don't like the idea that the filtering should happen in the callback, but I also do see how the existing solutions are not really optimal for you either. Just to re-iterate, you can't set the From a bit of searching, I couldn't find a way to tell Ansible to filter things (read: not to execute the callback for that specific host at all) and also no other callback that handles "remote reporting" (like to a logging system or chat or whatever) does support filtering either :( Should Foreman itself gain a "here is a list/regex/whatever that you should not create hosts for"? I'll ask @ares later when I see him. |

I wasn't aware of those two Foreman options, and at first glance they might work. We manually create hosts with playbooks for bare-metal provisioning or I do agree with you though, this sounds like something that Ansible should implement globally for callback plugins. I can totally see how I'd want the same feature on a logging callback. I'll mull this over a few days and discuss with the team if we can think of any situations where we need the callback to create hosts. Thanks for the help. |

Coming back to this, the admin options are working fine, but I do receive this rather ugly warning: I don't think that Ansible provides a global "ignore warnings" setting, and I can't think of a nice way to hide this error if it's working as intended. I wonder if maybe an What do you think? |

Ah, yes, the host doesn't exist and you try to submit facts for it, that makes sense. To make sure, can you post the full traceback from /var/log/foreman/production.log? |

SUMMARY
Callback plugin works great when targets are nodes from an inventory (using foreman inventory). When running playbooks that use
hosts: localhost(configuring foreman itself, or any playbook to be run locally), you end up with alocalhosthost object in Foreman that must be deleted. Every subsequent run adds anotherlocalhosthost.I'd like a way make localhost runs not report facts to foreman. Either built-in, or an
ignore_host = <regex>-like option in the callback settings.Thanks for all the work on this system!
