I am trying to write a playbook which shows failed when number of process running in linux host is not equal to 2. Following playbook works, but is there any better way of doing it? like is there any specific Ansible module to check process linux host?
--- - hosts: web become: yes become_method: su become_user: webuser tasks: - name: process check shell: ps -ef|grep -i etas|grep -v grep|wc -l register: command_result failed_when: "'2' not in command_result.stdout"

Answer
What is your Ansible version? There is no Ansible module to count the number of processes in Linux. You can make it readable by:
tasks: - name: process check shell: pgrep etas | wc -l register: command_result failed_when: command_result.stdout|int != 2
