Need help to run my first ansible playbook

[Richard]

I need help to run write ansible playbook to run show commands on Cisco Starent devices

And I'm running into some errors

Playbook

 ---

 - name: Run Show Command

   hosts: all

   connection: network_cli

   gather_facts: no

  tasks:

    - name: Gather Fact on all hosts

      ios_facts:

    - name: Run show Command

      ios_commands:

             - commands: "show alarm outstanding"

 ---

Errror

ansible@denchpw26:~$ sudo nano CiscoCheck_playbook.ymlCSR, -u a

ansible@denchpw26:~$ clear

ansible@denchpw26:~$ ansible-playbook -i all, -u ansible -k -e ansible_network_os=ios CiscoCheck_playbook.yml

SSH password:

 [WARNING]: Found both group and host with same name: all

ERROR! Syntax Error while loading YAML.

  mapping values are not allowed in this context

The error appears to have been in '/home/ansible/CiscoCheck_playbook.yml': line 3, column 8, but may

be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

 - name: Run Show Command

       ^ here

It appears you may have wrongly mapped the attribute - commands beneath the  ios_commands module in task "Run Show Command"

see examples here and pay attention to indentation, the line "tasks" appears to be wrongly indented also.

I would try the following:

---

 - name: Run Show Command

   hosts: all

   connection: network_cli

   gather_facts: no

   tasks:

   - name: Gather Fact on all hosts

     ios_facts:

   - name: Run show Command

     ios_commands:

       commands: "show alarm outstanding"

Thanks for your help Michael.

The playbook is working now but ran into a another error
