How to *not* print ansible diagnostic error messages?

[Frank Thommen]

Hi,

I have a playbook which executes a local task from which I need the exit
status in later steps:


- name: Get exit status of ./run.sh
local_action: command ./run.sh
register: ES
ignore_errors: yes

- name: Do something if ./run.sh failed
command:
....
when: ES.rc == 1


Unfortunately when "./run.sh" fails, ansible prints a whole bunch of
diagnostic output to the screen, which I am not interested in.

How can I tell ansible *not* to print diagnostic error output of a
specific step?

We are running ansible 2.3.0 0 on CentOS 7

Cheers
frank

You could use "failed_when: False" on the task. Although, keep in mind
that would make the task treated as successful for all other purposes
(e.g. ES.failed would be set to False).

Best regards

Hi

This is perfect! Thanks a lot. Since I'm only interested in ES.rc and
not in ES.failed, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Frank,

Would adding the

no_log: True

bit do what you're after? That doesn't remove all the text, but it cuts it down quite markedly.

In your example:

<- Cut ->

   - name: Get exit status of ./run.sh
     local_action:  command ./run.sh
     register:      ES
     ignore_errors: yes 

     no_log: True

<- Cut -> 

Cheers, Mike
