Change the Ansible Verbosity

When debugging, it can be useful to view the Ansible logs with greater verbosity than the default. CFS sessions are able to set the Ansible verbosity from the command line when the session is created. The verbosity will apply to all configuration layers in the session.

Specify an integer using the --ansible-verbosity option, where 1 = -v, 2 = -vv. Valid values range from 0 (default) to 4. See the ansible-playbook help for more information.

It is not recommended to use level 3 or 4 with sessions that target large numbers of hosts. When using --ansible-verbosity to debug Ansible plays or roles, consider also limiting the session targets with --ansible-limit to reduce log output.

WARNING: Setting the --ansible-verbosity to 4 can cause CFS sessions to hang. To correct this issue, reduce the verbosity to 3 or lower, or adjust the usage of the display_ok_hosts and display_skipped_hosts settings in the ansible.cfg file the session is using. Consider also reviewing the Ansible tasks being run and reducing the amount log output from these individual tasks.
