I have a playbook with several roles to be performed on AWS instances. I want to get the list of all aws resource actions used on the ec2 modules so i can create specific IAM role with those permisions. But i’m unable to get the specified output as per the documentation. I have done the changes as per the documentaion. Modified the ansible.cfg to

`[defaults] callback_whitelist = aws_resource_actions`

Also on the playbook i have given the group as follow- name: Get instance details and attach ebs volumes

`  
hosts: some hosts  
module\_defaults:  
group/aws:  
debug\_botocore\_endpoint\_logs: True  
gather\_facts: yes  
roles:

- a\_role  
`

Also i have added modified the ec2 task also to add this

`

- name : Create EBS one  
ec2\_vol:  
region: “{{ region }}”  
instance: “{{ item}}”  
device\_name: “{{ device }}”  
volume\_type: “{{ vol\_type }}”  
volume\_size: “{{ vol\_size }}”  
delete\_on\_termination: yes  
encrypted: yes  
debug\_botocore\_endpoint\_logs: yes  
tags:  
Name: “{{ vol\_name }}”  
register: EBSdetails  
`

Can anyone point me out what i have missed?
