Hi Jitendar,

You need to write your callback plugin based upon the default callback plugin.

You can take inspiration from -

  1. Developing callback plugin - https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/dev_guide/developing_plugins.html#callback-plugins
  2. You need to override the method mentioned here to include your business logic - https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/90518d8bb5b82827829e364696c326e31c6b3c74/lib/ansible/plugins/callback/default.py#L78
  3. This is an example blog post for writing your own callback plugin - https://purnapoudel.blogspot.com/2020/10/how-to-write-ansible-callback-plugin.html (not tested by me, but looks ok to me)
