I have a simple Ansible playbook to
- Fetch a database connection config from an RestAPI,
- Extract the config object from the payload,
- Using the config JSON (as request body) to create a PUT request to another RestAPI.
At the 3rd stage I found that the database username and password combination is wrong. Later, while I print the outputs, I have found that the password has been replaced with a string named "VALUE_SPECIFIED_IN_NO_LOG_PARAMETER".
After some googling, I found that this is a security feature by Ansible. Unfortunately, I haven't found any configuration or something like this to disable this feature. Is it possible to disable this feature? Or any other workaround?
