Hi All, Hoping someone could help me with this. I have also raised this as an issue on Github, but have not received any feedback. panos\_content modules fails with the below error message "ERROR! no action detected in task. This often indicates a misspelled module name, or incorrect module path. The error appears to have been in ‘/mnt/c/Users/sudarshan kumar/Documents/XXXXXXXXXXXX/upgrade-firewall.yml’: line 15, column 7, but may be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem. The offending line appears to be: ```auto - name: Upgrade anti-virus and wildfire ^ here ``` The play that I am running loos like - name: Upgrade firewall hosts: paloalto connection: local gather\_facts: False vars: ip\_address: “x.x.x.x” username: “xxxxxx” password: “yyyyyyyy” roles: - role: PaloAltoNetworks.paloaltonetworks tasks: - name: Upgrade anti-virus and wildfire panos\_content: ip\_address: “{{ ip\_address }}” usernaame: “{{ username }}” password: “{{ password }}” anti\_virus\_update: yes wildfire\_update: yes ---

Hi Kai, Thank you for your feedback. Pretty sure I have the syntax correct. A copy paste to the email is messing up the spacing. About the module, I am looking at : [https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan](https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan) Which states the module does exist. ---

That's why the best thing is to post text only mail and not HTML, since text mails will preserve syntax. > About the module, I am looking at : > [https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan](https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan) > Which states the module does exist. That is not Ansible, its a Git repository that Palo Alto has created and therefor not part of Ansible. To make them available to Ansible you need to install them first. ---

Hi Kai, Will make sure I keep that in mind regarding the text only mail. I have installed them and have most of the other modules mentioned there working. Having issue with just this one. Cheers, ---

Well, it doesn't exist in that repo either, list of the ones that does [https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan/tree/develop/library](https://github.com/PaloAltoNetworks/ansible-pan/tree/develop/library) ---
