See individual, module-level debug statements

[Julian Montez]

Hi,

I'm trying to view debug statements within individual modules. For example, `ec2_asg.py` (https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/modules/cloud/amazon/ec2_asg.py) has debug statements describing when certain actions are performed. However, I'm finding it difficult to view these statements on my local machine.

I've tried the following:

• Running the module with an `args.json` file, using the template described here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/dev_guide/developing_modules_general.html#local-direct-module-testing
  
• Running the module and playbook with ANSIBLE_LOG_PATH and ANSIBLE_DEBUG set properly.
• This has more output, but nothing related to the actions performed during the module's execution.
• Running the `./hacking/test-module` executable from Ansible's source.
• Inspecting macOS's `/var/log/system.log`. There was nothing logged here, though according to the AnsibleModule class, there should be output: https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/8cf6f56a0103c51e93de9e26ce1982ce4aeb7ba0/lib/ansible/module_utils/basic.py#L1845-L1850

Can anyone point me in the right direction for how we're supposed to retrieve module debug output? Thanks!

I believe the problem is that asl as configured on macOS (/etc/asl.conf) ignores all messages with DEBUG or INFO.

Hm…that explains why it's not working on macOS. Thanks for that link!

I've run the same environment variable exports on an Ubuntu machine as a test. The general debug output is there, but the module debug output isn't there. I still can't see the internals of what's being performed during the module's execution.
