I am having trouble working with this module. The requirement is to search all the VMs irrespective of their resource groups based on the tags applied to VMs. The module documentation [here](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/azure_rm_virtualmachine_facts_module.html) says  
`  
resource\_group : Name of the resource group containing the virtual machines (required when filtering by vm name).

`

It’s throwing me error from one of the files - /.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/azure/mgmt/compute/compute/v2017\_03\_30/operations/virtual\_machines\_operations.py from azure-sdk-for-python:

`  
File "/home/svc\_ucoansible/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/azure/mgmt/compute/compute/v2017\_03\_30/operations/virtual\_machines\_operations.py", line 664, in internal\_paging\n ‘resourceGroupName’: self.\_serialize.url("resource\_group\_name", resource\_group\_name, ‘str’),\n File "/home/svc\_ucoansible/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/msrest/serialization.py", line 488, in url\n data = self.validate(data, name, required=True, \*\*kwargs)\n File "/home/svc\_ucoansible/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/msrest/serialization.py", line 558, in validate\n raise ValidationError("required", name, True)\nmsrest.exceptions.ValidationError: Parameter ‘resource\_group\_name’ can not be None.\n",  
“module\_stdout”: “”,  
“msg”: “MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error”,

`

Can somebody please help here ?
