Hi Ansible peeps,

I have this environment to automate VMware with Ansible

Is there any way to alter this behaviour to allow the task to display error, I can’t seem to debug this way.

TASK [Adding ESXi host “esxi01-mgmt-aet.ictms.lab” to vCenter . . .] ***************************************************************************************************
fatal: [localhost → localhost]: FAILED! => {“censored”: “the output has been hidden due to the fact that ‘no_log: true’ was specified for this result”, “changed”: false}

PLAY RECAP *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
localhost : ok=0 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0

You have to remove no_log: true from the task, if you don’t want no_log to hide the message.

Hi Mat

no_log is not existent on any task on my playbook, i think it’s hard coded in

https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.vmware/

If anyone has a work around please share…

Thanks again

It works by adding no_log: yes

Thanks a lot
