I have some Ansible tasks that perform unfortunately long operations and then pauses the playbook for 15 minutes before performing remainder of the tasks.
when i run the following playbook, I am not sure if the Playbook is paused or if my SSH connection has died or the playbook is stuck. It’d be nice to see some sort of progress output for the 15 minutes time. Is there a way I can make changes to the playbook to see the status?
- name: Pause Playbook for 15 minutes
pause:
minutes: 15 minutes
Thank you very much!!

You should find out how to identify when the task is done and then use a do until loop[1], that gives a OK feedback.

- name: Pause Playbook for 15 minutes
pause:
minutes: 15 minutes
If you still want to do this you can loop over pause.
- name: Pause Playbook for 15 minutes
pause:
minutes: 1
prompt: Time left {{ 15 - item | int }} minutes
with_sequence: start=0 end=14
