Hi,

currently with ansible.cfg containing

[defaults]  
display\_ok\_hosts = no  
display\_skipped\_hosts = no  
stdout\_callback = yaml

no output is given when I use the debug module. This is obviously correct behavior because the debug task returns ok.

But it makes debugging hard if you have a lot of "ok" hosts that you don't want in your output.

Any way around this behavior?

Thanks,
