Ansible zabbix module issues

[Andrew Morgan]

Hello All,

My ansible module is

ansible 2.4.2.0
  config file = /ansible/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/root/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.6.6 (r266:84292, Aug 18 2016, 15:13:37) [GCC 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-17)]

my play is

- hosts: zabbix

  tasks:
  - name: This is installation
    zabbix_maintenance:
     name: Zabbix123
     host_groups: Discovered host,Linux servers
     state: present
     minutes: 90
     server_url: http://zabbix.socialpatrol.net
     login_user: Admin
     login_password: yORKKEI1!
     desc: Setting up maintenance window for builds

my issue is that when I try to run ansible-playbook playbook.yaml

I keep getting the error:

TASK [This is installation] **********************************************************
fatal: [zabbix_server]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Missing required zabbix-api module (check docs or install with: pip install zabbix-api)"}
    to retry, use: --limit @/ansible/playbook.retry

I have installed pip zabbix-api , zabbix_api, pyzabbix and neither works. I have even tried installing them to the targe directory ansible has as python module location /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/ansible
 but I still get that error.Can someone please help.

In the documentation[1] is says
"Requirements (on host that executes module)"

So you need to install it on the remote host, zabbix_server in your
case. so just add this task to you play

- name: Install requirement
pip:
name: zabbix-api

Ok, thank you, can you please send me where that documentation is, the main document I read said nothing like that

http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/zabbix_maintenance_module.html

Thank you

It does, look at the third heading
http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/zabbix_maintenance_module.html#requirements-on-host-that-executes-module

Thank you helping, but I am still getting the same error:

ansible-playbook playbook.yaml

[Andrew Morgan]

any response please?

[Malcolm Hussain-Gambles]

The only thing I can think is on the
Zabbix server the version of python sensible is using isn't 2.7 but some other one? Is there another python installed on the zabbix server??

That's a wild guess btw

[Andrew Morgan]

Thank you for your response..
Yes, from what I can see there are multiple versions,

whereis python

python: /usr/bin/python2.6 /usr/bin/python /usr/bin/python2.6-config /usr/lib/python2.6 /usr/lib64/python2.6 /usr/local/bin/python /usr/local/bin/python2.7-config /usr/local/bin/python2.7 /usr/local/lib/python2.7 /usr/include/python2.6 /usr/share/man/man1/python.1.gz

[root@zabbix ~]# which python
/usr/local/bin/python

[root@zabbix ~]# /usr/local/bin/python --version
Python 2.7


]# python
python            python2.6         python2.7         python-config
python2           python2.6-config  python2.7-config  

[Andrew Morgan]

I can also see something is happening on the zabbix server when the playbook runs

zabbix ansible-pip: Invoked with virtualenv=None virtualenv_site_packages=False virtualenv_command=virtualenv chdir=None requirements=None name=['zabbix-api'] virtualenv_python=None editable=False umask=None executable=None use_mirrors=True extra_args=None state=present version=None
Jan 28 15:52:32 zabbix ansible-zabbix_maintenance: Invoked with http_login_password=NOT_LOGGING_PARAMETER name=Zabbix123 server_url=http://zabbix.socialpatrol.net login_user=Admin http_login_user=None timeout=10 host_names=None state=present host_groups=['Discovered host', 'Linux servers'] login_password=NOT_LOGGING_PARAMETER collect_data=True minutes=90 desc=Setting up maintenance window for builds

But nothing really happens

[Andrew Morgan]

Ansible is hard coded to /usr/bin/python i guess you /usr/bin/python is
pointing to Python 2.6 but you have installed the module in the Python
2.7.

You need to clean up you environment so that match.

thank you for "Ansible is hard coded to /usr/bin/python"..resolved

[Linards Liepiņš]

Hi, I am experiencing identical issue.

How did you changed this hardcoded path from python 2.6 (usr/bin/python) to python 2.7 (usr/bin/python)? What files you changed? How you changed them? To what values you changed the configuration?

[Valeriy Pastushenko]

Hello, can you  please tell us how you resolve this issue?
