Printing Ansible Console output to a file

Question

I Have a Ansible playbook which prints the CPU utilisation of target machine.When the CPU utilization is less than 90% , I get a OK message and if more than 90% , I should get not okay message on screen and also generate a log file as monitor.log on the Ansible host machine when CPU utilization is not okay.

I am able to generate the output on the console but I am not able to send this output to a log file.

The Ansible playbook that I have created is.

#CPU callculation

- name: Setup Nginx server on myserver list
  hosts: myservers
  become: True
  tasks:

    - name: 'copy Get-Memory-Utilization.sh script to {{ inventory_hostname }}'
      copy:
        src:  /home/ec2-user/Memory-Utilization.sh

        dest: /tmp
        mode: '0775'

    - name: 'Preparing Memory utilization using script results'
      shell: |
        sh /tmp/Memory-Utilization.sh
      register: memsec


    - name: 'Preparing Memory utilization for 1st sec'
      shell: |
        sh /tmp/Memory-Utilization.sh
      register: mem1sec


    - name: 'Preparing Memory utilization for 2nd sec'
      shell: |
        sh /tmp/Memory-Utilization.sh
      register: mem2sec


    - name: 'Preparing Memory utilization for 3rd sec'
      shell: |
        sh /tmp/Memory-Utilization.sh
      register: mem3sec


    - name: 'Prepare Memory Used percentage if its abnormal'
      shell: |
        sh /tmp/Memory-Utilization.sh
      register: memhigusage
      when: memsec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem1sec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem2sec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem3sec.stdout|int >= 90

    - name: 'Print message if MEMORY utilization is  normal'
      debug:
        msg:
          - -------------------------------------------------------
          -  Memory Utilization = ( ( Total - Free ) / Total * 100 ) = {{ memsec.stdout }}%
          - -------------------------------------------------------
      when: memsec.stdout|int < 90 and mem1sec.stdout|int < 90 and mem2sec.stdout|int < 90 and mem3sec.stdout|int < 90

    - name: 'Print message if MEMORY utilization is  abnormal'
      debug:
        msg:
           - -------------------------------------------------------
           - Memory Utilization = ( ( Total - Free ) / Total * 100 ) = {{ memhigusage.stdout }}%
           - -------------------------------------------------------
      when: memsec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem1sec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem2sec.stdout|int >= 90 or mem3sec.stdout|int >= 90

output:


TASK [Print message if MEMORY utilization is  normal] *************************************************************************************************************************************************************
ok: [44.203.153.54] => {
    "msg": [
        "-------------------------------------------------------", 
        "Memory Utilization = ( ( Total - Free ) / Total * 100 ) = 13.87%", 
        "-------------------------------------------------------"
    ]
}

TASK [Print message if MEMORY utilization is  abnormal] ***********************************************************************************************************************************************************
skipping: [44.203.153.54] => {}

Please help me to send this output to a file.
