Simple question, what’s the best way to capture stdout from a task that is performed? For example I want to run a command to gather some telemetry from a switch but is using the debug the best way to get the stdout data? I feel like there is a different way to do this without using debug.
Use a registered variable to access the return data.
See example here: https://gist.github.com/privateip/6d3c2eb6a7301a4d20eda17af2b19be0
