Example is here - https://github.com/balanced-cookbooks/balanced/pull/55/files - can place in README or similar.

I'm starting to really hate this templated logging configuration. It's very
hard to read and error prone.

For example, in my playbooks, I'm now doing: https://github.com/balanced-ops/ansible-balanced/blob/master/tasks/base.yml#L50-L51 to ensure it renders correctly, but this can be really hard to debug to know what is going on.

That's definitely handy, however yesterday I still ran into a couple of converge issues while testing this out. Stupid shit like the formatter wasn't specified correctly, it is syntactically correct but it will fail when actually used.

It would be great if we could actually configure a logger and write to it.

The other issue with your example (I suspect) is that it's using the system python, if you import 3rd party libraries won't it break?

@mjallday not necessarily, ideally, you'd do something like: https://github.com/balanced-ops/ansible-balanced/blob/master/tasks/base.yml#L9
