Thanks, Roland. The fact is, I'd like to "aggregate" (for lack of a better
term) any debug msg output, regardless of what information the playbook is
trying to gather. The one I posted above is for descriptive purposes.
Rather than have output of the playbook look like this:
PLAY [all]
*********************************************************************
TASK [system date]
*************************************************************
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:07 -0400 (0:00:00.037) 0:00:00.037
****
changed: [host1]
TASK [print system date]
*******************************************************
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:08 -0400 (0:00:00.889) 0:00:00.927
****
ok: [host1] => {
"msg": "Hostname is: host1 and System date is: Thu Sep 16 11:49:08 EDT
2021"
}
PLAY [all]
*********************************************************************
TASK [system date]
*************************************************************
---
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:08 -0400 (0:00:00.059) 0:00:00.986
****
changed: [host2]
TASK [print system date]
*******************************************************
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:09 -0400 (0:00:00.965) 0:00:01.951
****
ok: [host2] => {
"msg": "Hostname is: host2 and System date is: Thu Sep 16 11:49:09 EDT
2021"
}
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************
~
I'd want the to look like this:
PLAY [all]
*********************************************************************
TASK [system date]
*************************************************************
---
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:08 -0400 (0:00:00.059) 0:00:00.986
****
changed: [host1]
Thursday 16 September 2021 11:49:07 -0400 (0:00:00.037) 0:00:00.037
****
changed: [host2]
TASK [print system date]
*******************************************************
ok: [host1] => (item=Thu Sep 16 12:41:03 EDT 2021) => {
"msg": "Hostname is: host1 and System date is: Thu Sep 16 12:41:03 EDT
2021"
}
ok: [host2] => (item=Thu Sep 16 12:41:03 EDT 2021) => {
"msg": "Hostname is: host2 and System date is: Thu Sep 16 12:41:03 EDT
2021"
}
PLAY RECAP
*********************************************************************

Is that possible?
