Hi
There were a couple of small yaml syntax errors in your playbook. Here is
what it should look like:
---
- name: PLAY - BACKUP
hosts:
- localhost
gather_facts: no
connection: local
tasks:
- name: OBTAIN LOGIN CREDENTIALS
include_vars: ./secrets.yml
- name: DEFINE PROVIDER
set_fact:
provider:
host: "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
username: "{{ creds['username'] }}"
password: "{{ creds['password'] }}"
auth_pass: "{{ creds['auth_pass'] }}"
- name: SAVE AND BACKUP CONFIGS
ios_config:
backup: yes
local_file: "{{ filename }}"
platform: "{{ net_platform }}"
Now I was able to run this but it fails because I don't have any of the
vars defined and so it could still be possible there are more syntax issues
which I've not encountered yet.
Anyway, at least it will move you a little forwards in your adventure. :-)
Good luck
Regards,
Jinesh
