We can specify a log_path in ansible.cfg 
<https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/examples/ansible.cfg> which 
instructs Ansible to log to a certain file.
Is there a way to specify the verbosity of that logging as well? (The 
default is not verbose).
Logging verbosity is not affected by the verbosity from the command line 
either.

If this does not exist, I think it should be a feature request.
It could be quite useful to get more verbose output in the log file.

This would be especially useful in the following scenario:
You run a play with no/little verbosity and something goes wrong. You run 
it again with more verbosity but it doesn't produce the same error. For 
some reason it only happens once or now you're getting a different error. 
Maybe you made a permanent change in the environment that means you can't 
reproduce the same error. If this happens, you're hopeless.
If by default you've configured your log to be verbose, you can not worry 
about what you're logging to the command line, get a pretty and uncluttered 
output but still have verbose logs for when something goes wrong.

Thank you
