HI, I have a large playbook. I ran it and got this: PLAY RECAP \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* [xxx.xxx.net](http://xxx.xxx.net) : ok= 58 changed= 3 unreachable= 0 failed= 0 [yyy.xxx.net](http://yyy.xxx.net) : ok= 58 changed= 3 unreachable= 0 failed= 0 The problem is that I don’t know which three changed, and can’t seem to tell from the output. Since there is no reason for these to change every run, I’d like to track down which, so I know why. Examining syslog on the subject machine doesn’t help either. How can I tell what changed? Ed ---

Use --verbose when running the playbook. You may wish to set up an alias. ---

Hi Ed, try re-running the playbook with the --verbose flag. It will probably tell you what is changed and what is not. Best, Paschalis
