[ansible-project] Extract nmon

[Kannappan M]

Hi all,
>From my ansible user I was trying to fetch the nmon files (root owned) but
throwed me error even though I have mentioned as become: yes. Now if I run
the same playbook using root user ,my task is getting completed but I need
to perform this task using ansible user not as root user.
