I have a Ubiquiti Edge Router X on my network and was playing around with running playbooks on it. i’m trying to run the following playbook: > * * * > > - > > name: show current configuration > hosts: routers > tasks: > > - name: get facts > edgeos\_facts: > gather\_subset: all > > by default (i’ve turned off strict host key checking) and run the playbook and get the following error: > > root@ansible:~/My\_Ansible# ansible-playbook -i router edge\_facts.yml > > PLAY [show current configuration] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > > TASK [Gathering Facts] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > ok: [EdgeRouter] > > TASK [get facts] \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > fatal: [EdgeRouter]: FAILED! =\> {“changed”: false, “module\_stderr”: “Shared connection to 10.1.1.1 closed.\r\n”, “module\_stdout”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n File "/home/USER/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1567834372.68-68684870289821/AnsiballZ\_edgeos\_facts.py", line 114, in \r\n \_ansiballz\_main()\r\n File "/home/USER/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1567834372.68-68684870289821/AnsiballZ\_edgeos\_facts.py", line 106, in \_ansiballz\_main\r\n invoke\_module(zipped\_mod, temp\_path, ANSIBALLZ\_PARAMS)\r\n File "/home/USER/.ansible/tmp/ansible-tmp-1567834372.68-68684870289821/AnsiballZ\_edgeos\_facts.py", line 49, in invoke\_module\r\n imp.load\_module(‘ **main** ’, mod, module, MOD\_DESC)\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ **main**.py", line 311, in \r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ **main**.py", line 299, in main\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ **main**.py", line 187, in populate\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ **main**.py", line 110, in populate\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload.zip/ansible/module\_utils/network/edgeos/edgeos.py", line 74, in run\_commands\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload.zip/ansible/module\_utils/network/edgeos/edgeos.py", line 40, in get\_connection\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload.zip/ansible/module\_utils/network/edgeos/edgeos.py", line 54, in get\_capabilities\r\n File "/tmp/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload\_6VDe7q/ansible\_edgeos\_facts\_payload.zip/ansible/module\_utils/connection.py", line 122, in **init** \r\nAssertionError: socket\_path must be a value\r\n”, “msg”: “MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error”, “rc”: 1} > > PLAY RECAP \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* > EdgeRouter : ok=1 changed=0 unreachable=0 failed=1 skipped=0 rescued=0 ignored=0 > > * * *     if i run the command with -vvvv i get the following under ‘task’ : [https://pastebin.com/E42YxHE0](https://pastebin.com/E42YxHE0) after some googling (i’ve tried changing `ControlPersist=60s` doesn’t work) While looking how to make errors more readable i found something that said in `ansible.cfg` change `stdout_callback = minimal` and I actually get back the data, however it still errors out.   How do I make the error more readable? ---

Do you know what version of edgeos you are connecting to? The module docs for edgeos\_facts say it was tested on 1.9.7. It looks like the module is failing but I can’t tell why it is getting the assertion error over socket\_path. I would try limiting your gather subset to see which set of facts is causing the problem you may not need them. For making the error more readable I think the debug stdout callback will do that but I don’t think it’s going to get any more information. Unfortunately it looks like it’s a problem with the module running the target (I don’t have experience with edgeos) ---

I am running on build Version: v1.10.10 Here is a full debug of the connection : [https://pastebin.com/Tk8B0jHH](https://pastebin.com/Tk8B0jHH) I’ve tried just a subset of the gather\_facts: config but still issue persists. Like the post says this is new so if you can recommend a resource to troubleshoot issues like this i’d be more than happy to research ---

I have the solution now… you need to set the `connection: network_cli`ansible\_network\_os=edgeos` `
