I like the fact that sticking

log_path = ./my-log.log

into ansible.cfg gives me nice history of actions I can [re]visit later. However with larger playbooks and increased number of actions (and with increased verbosity) log becomes rather large quite fast. So finding heads and tails of each run become a bit of a struggle. What is the best way to rotate or otherwise separate logs for each run?

i send them to syslog and have /var/log/ansible/, and logrotate takes care of it.

Hey Brian, could you elaborate on how you send them to syslog?
