Yea I was thinking the same thing, I’ve tried a few different things and right now I’ve got this output as the error it almost seems as if its something to do with the json object of the handle on the logout:

The current code in the logout script is this:

# -*- mode: python -*-
from ucsmsdk.ucshandle import UcsHandle
import json
import jsonpickle
def ucs_logout(module):
handle = module.params.get('handle')
results = {}
ucs_handle = handle
try:
ucs_handle.logout()
results['logged_out'] = True
except Exception as e:
#module.fail_json(msg="logout failed")
module.fail_json(msg = str(e))
return results
def main():
module = AnsibleModule(
argument_spec = dict(
handle = dict(required=True)

)
results = ucs_logout(module)
module.exit_json(**results)

So I was just trying now with the plain handle that was already there from the login but its complaining about not having a logout attribute. Do you have any recommendations on ways to error handle this and get better debugging on whats really happening? This is my first time creating an ansible module and I’ve been reading through the doc’s but not sure the best way to debug to get more.
I reached out to the guys in Cisco where I work to see if they know more about this cause I’m wondering if I should really even care about the logout but it appears that anything after the login I have this issue when trying to use the handle for some reason, I noticed testing last night if I didn’t try logging out and instead tried to query a dn on the UCS that it had issues too so might be something with this handle.
