Hi Team,

I have created a playbook to gather information from a Redhat KVM server. The issue I am facing is that I am getting the entire message in a single line. Can someone suggest a solution to print the message content as individual lines instead of a single line.

Try setting this in your ansible.cfg:

stdout\_callback = yaml  
bin\_ansible\_callbacks = True

Hi Dick,

Thanks a lot for the reply. I added the entry to the ansible.cfg file and found the issue persists. Message display is still the same as mentioned below.

Is this an option (using a list of messages), or are you looking for something different?

- name: Print Upgrade Information  
debug:  
msg:
- “Currently installed version: {{ current\_version }} booting from {{ current\_boot\_loc[:-2] }}”
- “New Image {{ new\_v13\_version }} + {{ new\_v13\_build}} will be uploaded from {{ new\_image\_dir }}”
- “It will be installed to boot location ‘{{ dest\_boot\_loc }}’”

In the playbook that I use, it generates this

ok: [device-name] =\> {  
“msg”: [  
“Currently installed version: 12.1.2 booting from HD1.1”,  
“New Image 13.1.3 + 0.0.5’ will be uploaded from ./UPGRADES/ISO’”,  
“It will be installed to boot location HD1.3”  
]  
}
