Synopsis

• This callback plugin will generate JSON objects and send them to Logentries via TCP for auditing/debugging purposes.
• Before 2.4, if you wanted to use an ini configuration, the file must be placed in the same directory as this plugin and named logentries.ini
• In 2.4 and above you can just put it in the main Ansible configuration file.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the local master node that executes this callback.

• whitelisting in configuration
• certifi (python library)
• flatdict (python library), if you want to use the ‘flatten’ option
