I have never used this myself, but check out this thread here on the forum, it talks about modifying what the ansible output shows ==\> [Ansible Output Label](http://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-output-label/3786) \<== maybe that can help display what you want.

Or, if that doesn’t work or is too complicated, you can always add some steps to read the `/var/log/yum.log` (or the corresponding log if not `yum`), and then echo to the screen/ansible log what was installed today.
