.. _display_args_to_stdout
display_args_to_stdout
======================
.. versionadded:: 2.1.0
By default, ansible-playbook will print a header for each task that is run to
stdout. These headers will contain the ``name:`` field from the task if you
specified one. If you didn't then ansible-playbook uses the task's action to
help you tell which task is presently running. Sometimes you run many of the
same action and so you want more information about the task to differentiate
it from others of the same action. If you set this variable to ``True`` in
the config then ansible-playbook will also include the task's arguments in the
header.
This setting defaults to ``False`` because there is a chance that you have
sensitive values in your parameters and do not want those to be printed to
stdout::
display_args_to_stdout=False
If you set this to ``True`` you should be sure that you have secured your
environment's stdout (no one can shoulder surf your screen and you aren't
saving stdout to an insecure file) or made sure that all of your playbooks
explicitly added the ``no_log: True`` parameter to tasks which have sensistive
values See :ref:`keep_secret_data` for more information.
