The markers are DRY RUN at the beggining and ending of playbook execution (when calling ansible-playbook --check) and CHECK MODE as a suffix at every play and task that is run in check mode.
display_failed_stderr
boolean
added in 2.7 of ansible.builtin
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
ini entries:

[defaults]
display_failed_stderr = no

env:ANSIBLE_DISPLAY_FAILED_STDERR
Toggle to control whether failed and unreachable tasks are displayed to STDERR (vs. STDOUT)

Notes

Note

  • Uses the default callback plugin output when a custom callback message(msg) is not provided.
  • Makes the callback event data available via the ansible_callback_diy dictionary, which can be used in the templating context for the options. The dictionary is only available in the templating context for the options. It is not a variable that is available via the other various execution contexts, such as playbook, play, task etc.
  • Options being set by their respective variable input can only be set using the variable if the variable was set in a context that is available to the respective callback. Use the ansible_callback_diy dictionary to see what is available to a callback. Additionally, ansible_callback_diy.top_level_var_names will output the top level variable names available to the callback.
  • Each option value is rendered as a template before being evaluated. This allows for the dynamic usage of an option. For example, "{{ 'yellow' if ansible_callback_diy.result.is_changed else 'bright green' }}"
  • Condition for all msg options: if value is None or omit, then the option is not being used. Effect: use of the default callback plugin for output
  • Condition for all msg options: if value is not None and not omit and length is not greater than 0, then the option is being used without output. Effect: suppress output
  • Condition for all msg options: if value is not None and not omit and length is greater than 0, then the option is being used with output. Effect: render value as template and output
  • Valid color values: black, bright gray, blue, white, green, bright blue, cyan, bright green, red, bright cyan, purple, bright red, yellow, bright purple, dark gray, bright yellow, magenta, bright magenta, normal
