title: How to change ansible verbosity level without changing the command line arguments?
body: <p>I want to control the verbosity of ansible playbooks using an environment variable or a global configuration item. This is because ansible is called from multiple places in multiple ways and I want to change the logging level for all further executions from the same shell session.</p>
  
  <p>I observed that if I configure <code>ANSIBLE_DEBUG=true</code> ansible will run in debug mode but debug more is extremely verbose and I am only looking for something similar to the <code>-vvv</code> option (DEBUG is more verbose than even <code>-vvvv</code> option)</p>
  
  <p>I tried to look for a variable inside <a href="https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/constants.py" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/ansible/ansible/blob/devel/lib/ansible/constants.py</a> but I wasn't able to find one this fits the bill.</p>
