I believe you want this:  
[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference\_appendices/config.html#default-no-target-syslog](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#default-no-target-syslog)

but modules don't 'log to stdout' they use stdout to return data to  
the controller.
