I have written a custom module to define a bunch of variables. The module returns json with ansible\_facts, and everything works great.

tasks:

- local\_action: my\_custom\_module  
sudo: false

But I have one problem - the ansible\_facts include service ID’s and passwords - I don’t want this stuff to be output to the console.

How can I hide the console output for my custom module?
