how to use insertbefore/after correctly?

[aaron.t...@total.care]

lineinfile: dest=/etc/rsyslog.conf insertafter="\*\.\*\;auth\,authpriv\.none" regexp="\*\.\*\;auth\,authpriv\.none" line="Listen 8080"

The only thing that happens here is Listen 8080 replaces the *.*;auth,authpriv.none line.  should it not be placing it after it???

I think you don't need the regexp, or rather the regexp should match
the line you are *inserting*. To let ansible know, if the line is
already in there.

Right now you are telling ansible to replace the line
...auth,authpriv... and insert the line after the line ...auth,authpriv...
