v16.1.x ucs_fetch urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error timed out>

[mwardbopp]

I've tried a number of playbooks ucs_fetch, bigip_qkview both imperative and declarative and I get errors. If I revert to 15.1.8 they work fine.

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: urllib.error.URLError: fatal: [f5 -> localhost]: FAILED! => changed=false module_stderr: |- Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/urllib/request.py", line 1354, in do_open h.request(req.get_method(), req.selector, req.data, headers, File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1256, in request self._send_request(method, url, body, headers, encode_chunked) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1302, in _send_request self.endheaders(body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1251, in endheaders self._send_output(message_body, encode_chunked=encode_chunked) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1011, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 951, in send self.connect() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 1418, in connect super().connect() File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/http/client.py", line 922, in connect self.sock = self._create_connection( File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 808, in create_connection raise err File "/usr/local/lib/python3.8/socket.py", line 796, in create_connection sock.connect(sa) socket.timeout: timed out

Hi, internal ID to track this item is: INFRAANO-976, thanks!

[tizianorosato-gr]

any update on this bug?

[G-gonzalezjimenez]

Can you tell us what version of TMOS are you using when this issue is being presented?

[pgouband]

Hi,

To troubleshoot the connection issue, could you do a tcpdump with decryption so that we can determine whether it's the BIG-IP or the Ansible client that's reseting the connection. If you need help, you can open a ticket at https://my.f5.com/.
