Hello, can you please help me to generate a final report after running playbook I have different playbooks for execution and I want a single report file for all. So that non-technical team can review the output. Please tell if it is possible in CSV format. ---

I’ve done this by using a template. But I don’t have access to my work system to get you an example. I can get one later or over the weekend if you’d like. Harry ---

There was a talk about this at a London ansible meetup in 2019. The speaker wrote a callback plugin to return CSV formatted ansible output. I think the PR got declined but you could write something similar for your use case. Here’s a link to the talk: [https://youtu.be/Dj0hgliEjA8](https://youtu.be/Dj0hgliEjA8) ---
