Hi C Bax

First, you have to give a variable name (let’s say `command_result` for example) and register the output in it.  
Second, you inspect that variable with the debug module.

```auto
  tasks:
    - name: Pushing aliases to lab devices
      ios_config:
        src: ./templates/aliases.j2
        provider: "{{ cli }}"
      register: command_result
 
    - name: Displaying pushed configuration
      debug:
       var: commands_result

```
