Hello Guys,

Can anyone face error which running playbooks on Cisco and Juniper Network switches via AWX.

The playbooks are working fine in CLI and Jenkins but in AWX even after putting all the details i see some weird errors.

Cisco:

TASK [cisco : Run the tech support query and copy it to FTP server] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*

task path: /tmp/awx\_41\_31wy6o93/project/roles/cisco/tasks/cisconetworkconfig.yml:6

The full traceback is:

Juniper:

The code is working fine normally. The playbook is basically to collect config backups on Juniper and Cisco Network switches.

Can anyone check and confirm with these errors.

Thanks & Regards
