What do you have in your ansible.cfg for stdout_callback?

[Sameer Modak]

No its all commented

[root@hackerdev 6.2]# grep callback /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg 

# change the default callback

#stdout_callback = skippy

# enable additional callbacks

#callback_whitelist = timer, mail

#callback_plugins   = /usr/share/ansible/plugins/callback

# by default callbacks are not loaded for /bin/ansible, enable this if you

# want, for example, a notification or logging callback to also apply to

#bin_ansible_callbacks = False

[root@hackerdev 6.2]# grep stdout /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg 

#stdout_callback = skippy

# stdout from ansible-playbook (or you have manually specified no_log in your

#display_args_to_stdout = False

[root@hackerdev 6.2]# 

[Mike Klebolt]

Uncomment the stdout_callback line.  The Skippy callback plugin gives pretty clean output.
