Ansible Role: tlp

This Ansible role is used to install and set up TLP, a tool for managing power on Linux systems.

Role Variables

Here are the configurable options for TLP, defined in YAML format:

tlp_enable: true                     # Enable TLP
tlp_default_mode: "AC"               # Default mode (AC or Battery)

# Disk idle time settings
tlp_disk_idle_secs:
  ac: 0                               # Idle time when plugged in (in seconds)
  bat: 2                              # Idle time on battery (in seconds)

# Maximum lost work time settings
tlp_max_lost_work_secs:
  ac: 15                              # Max time for lost work when plugged in
  bat: 60                              # Max time for lost work on battery

# CPU scaling settings
tlp_cpu_scaling_governor:
  ac: "powersave"                     # CPU governor when plugged in
  bat: "powersave"                    # CPU governor on battery

# Energy performance settings
tlp_energy_perf_policy:
  ac: "performance"                   # Energy policy when plugged in
  bat: "powersave"                    # Energy policy on battery

# Disk device settings
tlp_disk_devices: "sda sdb"          # List of disk devices to configure
tlp_disk_apm_level:
  ac: "254 254"                       # APM level when plugged in
  bat: "128 128"                      # APM level on battery

# SATA settings
tlp_sata_linkpwr:
  ac: "max_performance"               # SATA link power when plugged in
  bat: "min_power"                    # SATA link power on battery

# Additional power management settings (similar configurations for different states)
tlp_runtime_pm:
  ac: "on"                            # Runtime power management when plugged in
  bat: "auto"                         # Runtime power management on battery
tlp_usb_autosuspend: 1                # Enable USB autosuspend

The variable names use a specific pattern to indicate whether they depend on AC (when plugged in) or battery (BAT).

Some variables may not have specific values here; they are included for reference. If you find any missing options from new TLP releases, feel free to request them.
