I have a question with the callback plugin log\_plays.py. Under requirements I see whitelist.

Whitelist in configuration: Can you elaborate on what I should add there?

In ansible.cfg I uncommented **callback\_whitelist = timer, mail…** Anything else that I should do?Can someone please guide me?

I tried copying this log\_plays.py to my controller and tried executing but its not creating any log.

you enabled the timer and mail callbacks, not the log\_plays one, just  
remove those and set it to log\_plays.

Here are the docs in case I was not clear.
