Add ansible.cfg file to better handle Ansible ouput
pierrepo opened this issue · comments
For instance:
# https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html
[defaults]
# https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback/profile_tasks.html
callback_whitelist = profile_tasks
# Use the YAML callback plugin.
stdout_callback = yaml
# Use the stdout_callback when running ad-hoc commands.
bin_ansible_callbacks = True
This looks like a good default to have 👍
By default, Ansible does not print the time taken by each task:
$ ansible-playbook site.yml -i hosts -u ubuntu
