Ansible syslogs to user.notice on the managed machine - can I change this?

[Ed Greenberg]

I have a task logging to user.notice, and I can't change it. 

Ansible also logs to user.notice, and I'm wondering if I can change where it does that on a global basis. One of the locals would be nice.

Any way to do this?

You can turn it off with no_target_syslog config entry, but there is
no current way of changing the logging target.

This is how I solved the problem in rsyslog.conf:

if $pri-text == 'user.notice' and $msg contains 'ansible' then {
    /var/log/ansible.log
    stop
}

I put this pretty close to the top of the rsyslog.conf, above GLOBAL DIRECTIVES.
