Hello All!

I have been tasked with backing up our network devices.  I am not a network 
guy but I know ansible and linux.  I keep getting this error and have not 
found much on the web for help. *The error is "unable to disable terminal 
pager."  *

***my yaml file which is using vault***

- name: Backup ASA Configuration
  hosts: zzasxxxx
  gather_facts: false

  vars:
    # Encrypted variables
    ansible_user: "{{ vault_asa_user }}"
    ansible_password: "{{ vault_asa_pass }}"

  tasks:
    - name: Backup ASA Configuration

      register: config_output

    - name: Print backup output
      debug:

when I added 
terminal_plugins=/root/.ansible/collections/ansible_collections/cisco/asa/plugins
 
to my ansible.cfg i got a whole new set of python errors notably 
"AttributeError: module 'ansible.plugins.terminal.asa' has no attribute 
'TerminalModule'"
note my CLI does work # ansible zzasxxxx -m ping -u username --ask-pass 
-vvvvvvvv
