Something like "Play (7 of 12) Task (4 of 15)". There's no way to have
any kind of time estimate, but a simple X of Y count seems useful.

Well, at least it was a place where people could feel they could leave
some sort of feedback and feel they could say "Yes... we really really
want this feature..." I guess we just bring this up periodically in
the forums then?
This isn't really possible in any sort of clean way and we've
explained why already on several occasions.
Well surely at the top level having a progress bar for the whole
playbook is possible? There is nothing technical stopping that. Right?
And surely when we have async tasks right now (which I use) instead of
just printing down the screen right now something like:
TASK: [bitnami_rubystack | Install rubystack]
*********************************
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 990s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 980s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 970s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 960s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 950s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 940s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 930s remaining
<job 409801362883.2948> polling, 920s remaining
It could have a better output where there is just a single line which
is counting down?
Also with the async process can't the last line of the current task be
captured and displayed? and just written over each time? sort of like
periodically doing the async connect and grabbing 'tail --lines 1
progresslog" and displaying that?
I don't know the details but there must be something that can be done!
and it is very very clear that users want something like this. I
wanted it from practically the moment I started using ansible and it
is likely my top issue with ansible.
(In any case thanks for ansible, I really like most of it!)
Cheers,
Jas

Hi,
I just wanted to bring up progress bars again and monitoring
of long running tasks.
There is something approaching 50 +1's to the bug report /
request https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3887
<https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/3887>
It would be really nice to have progress bars at various
levels. When running a playbook and you are not debugging it,
it would be very nice to have the option to be able to instead
of getting screenfuls of output to instead have a progress
bar, much like git or mercurial do (and details would just be
sent to some log file). Eg to see a video of the kind of
progress indicator I am talking about see:
https://github.com/noamraph/tqdm
<https://github.com/noamraph/tqdm>
On the other extreme it would be nice to have progress
indicators / feedback mechanisms for some of the really long
running tasks to figure out if they have hung or not. I don't
know any of the details of the internals of ansible or how to
make this work, but from the bug report this is obviously a
very highly desired feature which many people want...
