Hi all,

I’m just getting started with this, so please bear with me until I find my way around.

Is this the place to ask about specific module issues?

For example, I’m trying to use nxos\_facts network module but getting an exception. For some odd reason, this has worked once. But most times returns:

“exception”: “Traceback (most recent call last):\n File "/tmp/ansible\_J8ozrl/ansible\_module\_nxos\_facts.py", line 596, in \n main()\n File "/tmp/ansible\_J8ozrl/ansible\_module\_nxos\_facts.py", line 579, in main\n inst.populate()\n File "/tmp/ansible\_J8ozrl/ansible\_module\_nxos\_facts.py", line 314, in populate\n self.facts[‘interfaces’] = self.populate\_interfaces(data)\n File "/tmp/ansible\_J8ozrl/ansible\_module\_nxos\_facts.py", line 330, in populate\_interfaces\n for item in data[‘TABLE\_interface’][‘ROW\_interface’]:\nTypeError: string indices must be integers\n”,

- hosts: edc-sf-n9k-svc-g3  
gather\_facts: no

tasks:

- name: Ping device  
ping:
- name: Get nexus facts  
nxos\_facts:  
gather\_subset:

# - hardware

- interfaces  
register: factResult
- name: NexusFactsResult  
debug:  
var: factResult

I appreciate and direction anyone can provide toward a resolution.

Regards,

Rick
