Error output difficult to read - Ansible

Question

So when Ansible playbook throws an error it shows on the next line. This makes it very difficult to read in cases of tracebacks. Is there a way to get a cleaner output of error messages?

Hey @Lisha, you can use the callback plugins. Thes plugins usually just add new behaviors to ansible responding to events. Thes plugins control the output like the errors and stuff. These can also be integrated with other tools to exploit its functionality. 

Add these in the default section of your ansible.cfg file:

[defaults]
(...)
stdout_callback=debug
stderr_callback=debug
