I am working on callback plugin [https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/plugins/callback.html)  
and found I can control to whitelist a specific callback plugin like this way in a playbook run.

`ANSIBLE_CALLBACK_WHITELIST=notify_me ansible-playbook node-build.yml`

Anyone knows if it is possible to do so with AWX?

Thanks,  
Jerry

If I’m not mistaken, if you put ANSIBLE\_CALLBACK\_WHITELIST env variable under extra environment variables section of settings → jobs, it should be applied.  
Just keep in mind that it should be json formated.

Thanks.

Do you mean this?  
AWX → Template → a job → Details (settings) → Extra Variables (json)  
“ANSIBLE\_CALLBACK\_WHITELIST=notify\_me”

Not really. That would set an extra variable for the playbook runtime.  
What you are looking for is a way to set an environment variable.  
You will need to have admin access on awx, then navigate to awx settings → jobs.  
This is what you are looking for (17.2. Jobs), at the bottom of the screen you will see extra environment variables:

I see. I was hoping a playbook user can whitelist a different plugin flexibly depending on which playbook he runs (like the ansible-playbook command line example)…

thank you
