ansible.posix.skippy callback – Ansible screen output that ignores skipped status

Note

This callback plugin is part of the ansible.posix collection (version 1.5.4).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.posix. You need further requirements to be able to use this callback plugin, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: ansible.posix.skippy.
