I am transitioning my project to have the Ansible Runner’s [**Input Directory Hierarchy**](https://ansible.readthedocs.io/projects/runner/en/stable/intro/#runner-input-directory-hierarchy) structure.

I currently have the following `ansible.cfg`

```auto
stdout_callback = yaml
host_key_checking = False

```

I cannot find any documentation where this information needs to be placed in the the Input Directory Hierarchy Structure for my project.

I wish to see my `ansible-runner` STDOUT logs in the YAML format but I am seeing them in the JSON format at the moment.

Okay the solution is to add them either as YAML or JSON in the `env/envvars` file.

For my configuration the following upon comparing with the Ansible Configuration Settings [Docs](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/config.html#ansible-configuration-settings)

```yaml
---
# env/envvars
ANSIBLE_STDOUT_CALLBACK: yaml
ANSIBLE_HOST_KEY_CHECKING: false

```
