Ansible task to start mongod service hangs forever

This task fails after 60 seconds, removing the async and poll just causes it for hang forever. If it the playbook is run again the task completes successfully. This is being run on CentOS 7

- name: Start mongod service
  async: 60
  poll: 10
  service:
    enabled: yes
    name: mongod
    state: running

FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "async task did not complete within the requested time"}

I recommend using a systemd configuration for mongodb and then using the module systemd and not the service one.

systemd example

[Unit]
Description=MongoDB Database Service
Wants=network.target
After=network.target

[Service]
Type=simple
PermissionsStartOnly=true
ExecStartPre=/bin/mkdir -p /var/lib/mongod
ExecStartPre=/bin/chown mongodb:mongodb /var/lib/mongod
ExecStart=/usr/bin/mongod --config /etc/mongod.conf
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID
Restart=always
User=mongodb
Group=mongodb

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

Task:

- name: Make sure a service is running
  systemd:
    state: started
    name: mongodb

systemd config source: github
