I'm learning ansible and wrote simple playbook, but I don't understand or what I'm doing wrong that handler not working! Please, help me.

My playbook:

- hosts: HA gather_facts: False tasks: - name: Installs pacemaker yum: pkg=pacemaker,pcs,resource-agents state=latest notify: - pcsd start handlers: - name: pcsd start systemd: name=pcsd state=started

He skipped notify:

PLAY [HA] ********************************************************************** TASK [Installs pacemaker] ****************************************************** ok: [test-ha2] ok: [test-ha1] PLAY RECAP ********************************************************************* test-ha1 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0 test-ha2 : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=0

Handlers will only be fired for tasks which report a changed state. In the output of your play you can see the status is ok, which in this case means no new packages have been installed or updated (since state=latest)

So it would work, if any of the packages would not have been installed already.

Though, instead of state started I would use state restarted, since you're always upgrading to the latest packages in your task (state=latest) If a package gets updated, you also should restart the service.
