Hi,

I am trying to output of an ansible playbook , which is an output of a custom service status.

`

register: webstat

- debug:  
var: webstat.stdout\_lines  
verbosity: 0  
`

and the output is as follows…

`ok: [server1] => { "webstat.stdout_lines": ["", "Web Service running...", "", "", "Web Agent running...", "", "", "Web db Agent running..."] }`

but the adhoc command, the actual output is 5 lines

For any standard “var.stdout” only 8 lines are printing . Any way to increase the std.output lines above 8 lines

Can't confirm this behavior with Ansible 2.8.0

test.yml

Sorry it is a miss from my side and I learned a debug option today .
