Ansible verbosity

One of the first options that anyone picks up is the debug option. To understand what is happening when you run the playbook, you can run it with the verbose (-v) option. Every extra v will provide the end user with more debug output.

Let's see an example of using those options to debug a simple ping command (ansible all -i test01.fale.io, -m ping):

• The -v option provides the default output:

Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
test01.fale.io | SUCCESS => {
    "changed": false, 
    "ping": "pong"
}

• The -vv option adds a little more information about the Ansible environment and the handlers:

ansible 2.7.2
  config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/home/fale/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr...
