 4  create: true
 5  owner: root
 6  group: wheel
 7  mode: "0644"
 8  copyfile: "{{ cl_lighttpd_modulesconf_copy }}"
 9  markers: "{{ cl_lighttpd_modulesconf_markers }}"
10  lines: "{{ cl_lighttpd_modulesconf_lines }}"
11  blocks: "{{ cl_lighttpd_modulesconf_blocks }}"
12  handlers:
13    - configtest lighttpd
14    - reload lighttpd

Create the dictionary cl_lighttpd_modulesconf_copy (69)

[contrib/lighttpd_nagios/cl-lighttpd.yml]
