Module path error

Hello everyone,

I have playbook i use to backup the configuration of a Cisco ASA. It was working great for some time but it now fails with the following message:

TASK [Gathering Facts] ************************************************************************************************************************************
[WARNING]: Ignoring timeout(10) for asa_facts
fatal: [isgq-asa-1_admin]: FAILED! => {“msg”: “The module asa_facts was not found in configured module paths”}

I ran the following hoping that it would resolve:

ansible-galaxy collection install cisco.asa

This completed successfully and collection has been installed to ~/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections however the playbook still fails with the message above.

Ansible collection path/version details are below:

COLLECTIONS_PATHS(default) = [u’/home/###/.ansible/collections’, u’/usr/share/ansible/collections’]

ansible 2.9.27
config file = /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg
configured module search path = [u’/home/###/.ansible/plugins/modules’, u’/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules’]
ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible
executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
python version = 2.7.17 (default, Mar 18 2022, 13:21:42) [GCC 7.5.0]

Any guidance on how to resolve this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Andrew
