First of: What the hell? What do you need that for? You don't seem to be
subscribing to it.

There's indeed a misunderstanding. Puppet will always drop a notice
about a resource that changes (i.e., an exec that is run).
log_output allows puppet to include the stdout of the exec'd process in
its logs.
What you're looking for is e.g.
loglevel => debug
