However, one of the persistent challenges in automation is the secure handling of sensitive information, such as passwords and API keys. When verbose logging is enabled in Ansible playbooks, these secrets could potentially be exposed in the logs, leading to significant security risks.</p> <p>To address this concern, callback plugins offer a viable solution for masking sensitive information in Ansible playbook logs. Callback plugins are custom modules that intercept and modify Ansible task output, providing a mechanism to sanitize logs before they are displayed or stored.</p>
