Human-readable and JSON output

Archives Ansible Project

I'd like to get the standard Ansible output on my terminal, but get JSON
output to a log file. Is there a way to do that? Setting stdout_callback
to 'json' seems to give me JSON on stdout and nothing in the log file,
which is almost the exact opposite of what I want... Adding --opposite-day
to the command line didn't seem to help. Can this be done?

If you whitelist the syslog_json plugin it should do what you want. There currently isn’t a ‘JSON to specific file’ plugin, but using either plugin as an example it should be easy to create.
