It appears you may have wrongly mapped the attribute - commands beneath the ios_commands module in task "Run Show Command"
see examples here <https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/ios_command_module.html#examples> and pay attention to indentation, the line "tasks" appears to be wrongly indented also. I would try the following: --- - name: Run Show Command hosts: all connection: network_cli gather_facts: no tasks: - name: Gather Fact on all hosts ios_facts: - name: Run show Command ios_commands: commands: "show alarm outstanding" On Tuesday, November 26, 2019 at 10:26:55 PM UTC-5, Richard wrote: > > I need help to run write ansible playbook to run show commands on Cisco > Starent devices > And I'm running into some errors > > Playbook > --- > > - name: Run Show Command > hosts: all > connection: network_cli > gather_facts: no > > tasks: > - name: Gather Fact on all hosts > ios_facts: > > - name: Run show Command > ios_commands: > - commands: "show alarm outstanding" > > --- > > > Errror > > ansible@denchpw26:~$ sudo nano CiscoCheck_playbook.ymlCSR, -u a > ansible@denchpw26:~$ clear > ansible@denchpw26:~$ ansible-playbook -i all, -u ansible -k -e > ansible_network_os=ios CiscoCheck_playbook.yml > SSH password: > [WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: all > > ERROR!
