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 thedisplay_ok_hosts
anddisplay_skipped_hosts
settings in theansible.cfg
file the session is using. Consider also reviewing the Ansible tasks being run and reducing the amount log output from these individual tasks.
