# You probably noticed that we use some black magic in the previous handler.
# Let us explain what it does and why did we bring it into the daylight.
#
# Under normal circumstances, we would write the previous handler as
#
# - name: Restart Windows agent
# win_service:
# name: SensuAgent
# state: restarted
#
# When Ansible loads this handler, it makes sure it can find the win_service
# module. And this is where things start to go downhill for us. Because we do
# not have a guarantee that win_service module will be available (win_service
# is not part of a certified collection), this eagerness prevents operating in
# certain situations where win_service module is not even needed.
#
# And this is why we use the alternative form that forces Ansible to lazy-load
# the module at the task/handler execution time.
#
# Of course, it would be much easier if we could declare ansible.windows as our
# dependency, but this is not possible at the moment.
