Al West:
Run ansible --version and confirm that is the path being used for logs. Also check the path exists and has the right permissions.

Al West:
Also you are use an older version of ansible. I’d upgrade to one that is using Python3 - probably best done through pip.

#9

vaibhav patil:
still same

#10

Al West:
Are you sure you have:

log_path = /var/log/ansible/ansible.log

Under [defaults] in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg and that you have set permissions to 777 on /var/log/ansible ?

#11

Garvit Jain:
Might be a permission or folder/file ownership issue. It might be because the file you created comes under different owner or root and is not accessible by the ansible while running
Try doing ls -la /var/log/ansible/
