This module prints statements during execution and can be useful for debugging variables or expressions without necessarily halting the playbook. Useful for debugging together with the 'when:' directive.

- debug: msg: "System {{ inventory_hostname }} has gateway {{ ansible_default_ipv4.gateway }}" when: ansible_default_ipv4.gateway is defined
