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
