Hi Everyone!

I am new to "Ansible". I've created a playbook that backups cisco running config. My problem is that i get an error Invalid input detector "^" i did some digging and its alerting due to the command not running in privileged mode. I've tried using authorize and auth_pass and it gives me an error saying :

[WARNING]: Ignoring invalid attribute: username

[WARNING]: Ignoring invalid attribute: authorize

[WARNING]: Ignoring invalid attribute: auth_pass

[WARNING]: Ignoring invalid attribute: host

here is playbook:

---

- hosts: myswitches

gather_facts: true

connection: local

tasks:

- name: show run

ios_command:

commands:

- show run

host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"

auth_pass: cisco

username: cisco

password: cisco

authorize: yes

#provider:

# authorize: yes

# auth_pass: cisco

#register: config

- name: save output to /etc/ansible/backups

copy:

content: "{{ config.stdout[0] }}"

dest: "/etc/ansible/backups/show_run_{{ inventory_hostname }}.txt"

here is -VVVV outcome:

Options like "host" and "username" are part of provider option. You
should check the options and also the indentation.

Just an update.

I figured where authorize: yes and auth_pass: cisco should stand...

Under "ios command:"

tasks:

- name: show run

ios_command:

authorize: yes

auth_pass: cisco

commands:

hope this helps if anyone is having same issue.
