selective - only print certain tasks¶

New in version 2.4.

Synopsis ¶

This callback only prints tasks that have been tagged with print_action or that have failed. This allows operators to focus on the tasks that provide value only.
Tasks that are not printed are placed with a ‘.’.
If you increase verbosity all tasks are printed.

The below requirements are needed on the local master node that executes this callback.
