Hi,

I want to log playbook execution on per host basis. Have tried log\_plays, it is helping but the logs output is not so good to read. Is it possible to get the output in human readable format or some other suggestions

You can create your own plugin to get the exact format you would like.  
There are plenty of callbacks, but they normally meet the needs of the  
creator.
