Need help to print all the messages as new lines

[Jayan Anirudhan]

Hi Team,

I have created a playbook to gather information from a Redhat KVM server. The issue I am facing is that I am getting the entire message in a single line. Can someone suggest a solution to print the message content as  individual lines instead  of a single line.

Try setting this in your ansible.cfg:

stdout_callback = yaml
bin_ansible_callbacks = True

Hi Dick,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I added the entry to the ansible.cfg file and found the issue persists. Message display is still the same as mentioned below.

======================================

Is this an option (using a list of messages), or are you looking for something different?

- name: Print Upgrade Information
  debug:
    msg:
      - "Currently installed version: {{ current_version }} booting from {{ current_boot_loc[:-2] }}"
      - "New Image {{ new_v13_version }}  + {{ new_v13_build}} will be uploaded from {{ new_image_dir }}"
      - "It will be installed to boot location '{{ dest_boot_loc }}'"

In the playbook that I use, it generates this

ok: [device-name] => {
    "msg": [
        "Currently installed version: 12.1.2 booting from HD1.1",
        "New Image 13.1.3 + 0.0.5' will be uploaded from ./UPGRADES/ISO'",
        "It will be installed to boot location HD1.3"
    ]
}

============================================================

i.e. - change yours to 

 - name: Print All VM'state
    debug:
      msg:

        - VM's: {{ all_vms.list_vms }},
        - Active VM's: {{ running_vms.list_vms }}
        - HOSTNAME: {{ ansible_hostname }}
