No its all commented

[root@hackerdev 6.2]# grep callback /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg

# change the default callback

#stdout\_callback = skippy

# enable additional callbacks

#callback\_whitelist = timer, mail  
#callback\_plugins = /usr/share/ansible/plugins/callback

# by default callbacks are not loaded for /bin/ansible, enable this if you

# want, for example, a notification or logging callback to also apply to

#bin\_ansible\_callbacks = False  
[root@hackerdev 6.2]# grep stdout /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
