Works fine for me with ansible 2.3.2, thanks for this.

Have always output in double ... :-(
ansible v2.3.1

This works great, but does anyone know how to get this output to log to the file specified by log_path in ansible.cfg?

Nice works 4 me, but my install pm2-syslog task returns something quite ugly

 Use `pm2 show <id|name>` to get more details about an app

Anybody some ideas to fix those ascii characters?

EDIT:

That solution works. Human readable and with UTF8 special ascii characters.

stdout gets properly formatted but (yum) results does not. Any ideas?

worth noting that this callback plugin may no longer be needed as the debug plugin can be used by default now, I have just switched to using that instead:
