Description

There are lots of tasks that won't work as expected when run in --check mode. There are some precautions taken in elasticsearch-security.yml but most other will just fail when run with --check.

We need to go through all task lists and build exceptions or take otherwise care that --check can run through and will show valid results.

Thanks @afeefghannam89 for pointing this out and showing me lots of background information!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the precautions in elasticsearch-security.yml and then inspect the other task lists in the collection. Run the tasks with Ansible's --check mode to identify failures and determine which exceptions or safeguards are needed. Done means all task lists complete in --check mode and report valid results.
