More logging?

It would be nice to have some logging built in and be able to turn it on or off if debug is needed.
An example I would like to have is to have the ability to print out app_url in here
https://github.com/splunk/splunk-ansible/blob/develop/roles/splunk_common/tasks/install_apps.yml#L34

When you have a lot of apps to download and then install, it is a bit difficult to know which one has been downloaded (ansible play changed) or which one has been installed.

Thank you.

There are ways to leverage the available Ansible configuration options that are exposed as environment variables for this. Specifically, maybe https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#default-verbosity?

I think this can be used like:

$ export ANSIBLE_VERBOSITY=3
$ ansible-playbook ...

or

$ ANSIBLE_VERBOSITY=3 ansible-playbook ...
