Hey Folks So while executing playbooks via the PlaybookExecutor API , I want to pass my custom callback derived from CallbackBase + also to get the log file written with an command line like output. run\_pbook = PlaybookExecutor( playbooks=[playbook], inventory=inventory, loader=loader, variable\_manager=variable\_manager, options=options, passwords=passwords ) callback = ResultCallback() -----\>My custom call back for API responses run\_pbook.\_tqm.\_stdout\_callback = callback-----------------\> this accepts only one stdout call back So I am wondering how would I achieve my use case of writing an command-line like output to log files Things tried so far 1. when using PlaybookExecutor call , the log\_path in ansible.cfg does get written to. 2. I wanted to capture sys.stdout and sys.stderr to lo streaming- but though it captures warnings but not the actual TASK and Play output. I would really appreciate some help on how I can achieve this . Regards VB ---

\*\*\*Correction While executing via PlaybookExecutor log don’t get written to log defined in the ansible.cfg Tried redirecting stdout and stderr as well - but I don’t get the Task and Play output Thanks, Suren VB
