For the sake of idempotency, the task should only run if we had some changes ...
So the best way to do this to run it as a handler and let the following tasks trigger/notify it:
- copy {{ checkmk_agent_name }} from *
- copy check_mk plugins
- copy check_mk local checks
- copy check_mk additional files
- ... maybe I have overlooked some, so please check it again ...
you can even add a force clean cache task (debug task that notifies the handler?) triggered by a var/setting that defaults to false in order to give the user the opportunity to run this in bulk via ansible ...

@crpb ... have you consider the triggered solution for the sake of idempotency?

as above staited, i somehow missed this here and had enough other things to do :P.
just now i've gone through the docs to get a basic idea. won't happen today but hopefully in the next couple weeks :>.
Delete all cached check results on install to clear any lingering notices which might take a couple hourse for the next run. New problems will also come up within our configured check-time and won't hide in the cache for its TTL. 🙈
