Dear Team,

I am trying to use uri module in ansible, can anybody help me with that.

Actual Command:

curl -XPUT --insecure -u admin:admin “[https://127.0.0.1:9640/\*/\_settings](https://127.0.0.1:9640/*/_settings)” -H ‘Content-Type: application/json’ -d ‘{ “index” : { “refresh\_interval” : “180s” } }’

Should you be putting your data payload from curl in a ‘body’ tag?

uri:  
url: [https://127.0.0.1:9640/\*/\_settings](https://127.0.0.1:9640/*/_settings)  
method: PUT  
user: admin  
password: admin  
force\_basic\_auth: no  
return\_content: yes  
body\_format: json  
validate\_certs: no  
headers:  
Content-Type: “application/json”  
Accept: “application/json”  
body: “{ "index": { "refresh\_interval": "180s" } }”

Hope that helps,

Jim

Hi,

I guess you are missing the “body” keyword such as :

uri:  
url: [https://127.0.0.1:9640/\*/\_settings](https://127.0.0.1:9640/*/_settings)  
method: PUT  
user: admin  
password: admin  
force\_basic\_auth: no  
return\_content: yes  
body\_format: json  
validate\_certs: no  
headers:  
Content-Type: “application/json”  
Accept: “application/json”  
body:  
index:  
refresh\_interval: 180s

Thanks to let us know

Ludo
