Since callbacks are called with different argument-types, we have to be careful. We support two different distinct cases: - The error information can be in one ore more of the following items (msg, stderr or stdout) - The res/msg value returned can be a string or a list |

ansible-plugins
You can extend ansible with optional callback and connection plugins.
callbacks
Callbacks can be used to add logging or monitoring capability, or just make interesting sound effects.
Drop callback plugins in your ansible/lib/callback_plugins/ directory.
connections
Connection plugins allow ansible to talk over different protocols.
Drop connection plugins in your ansible/lib/runner/connection_plugins/ directory.
inventory
Inventory plugins allow you to store your hosts, groups, and variables in any way you like. Examples include discovering inventory from EC2 or pulling it from Cobbler. These could also be used to interface with LDAP or database.
chmod +x an inventory plugin and either name it /etc/ansible/hosts or use ansible with -i to designate the path to the plugin.
