Hello,

I have the following task that creates a rds parameter group in a aws region. All the parameter values are valid. I can enter these manually in aws console and they are accepted. However Ansible is complaining about long\_query\_time: “0” and max\_connect\_errors: “{DBInstanceClassMemory/11582880}”. The errors I am getting are listed as follows. Is this caused by a bug in Ansible for this task? Again if I enter these values manually in aws console it accepts them.

Hi,

Seems like a boto issue, can you please let us know which version of boto you are using and the ansible version, if not on the latest boto version then can you try updating to the latest and see if that helps.

Hello Benno,

Upgrading to the latest version of Boto and Ansible didn’t solve this problem. I am still getting the same error messages. Seems like a bug in the api?

Thanks  
Chanaka
