I’m testing the monit module, and I think the states are wrong, or maybe I’m making a mistake

Whether I run summary, I get:

monit summary  
The Monit daemon 5.1.1 uptime: 6m

Process ‘nfsen’ running  
Process ‘mongod’ running  
Process ‘memcached’ running  
Process ‘openvassd’ running

And in order to test the monit module I’ve created the below playbook:

- hosts: myhostname  
user: myuser  
tasks:
- name: Ensure NFSEN is running  
action: monit name=nfsen state=started

When I run ansible, I get an error:

**ansible-playbook myplaybook.yml**

PLAY [XXXXX] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

ok: [XXXXX]

TASK: [Ensure NFSEN is running] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
failed: [XXXXX] =\> {“failed”: true}  
msg: Process ‘nfsen’ running

FATAL: all hosts have already failed – aborting

PLAY RECAP \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*  
XXXXX : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1

What I’m doing wrong?

Thanks in advance

Perhaps some other folks using the monit module can help with this one?

Done. There’s a bug on the monit module.

diff monit monit.bk  
90c90  
\< running = ‘Running’.lower() in out.lower()
