Output too long for command "display interface" inside a HUAWEI using "community.network.ce_command"

[fravilcas]

Hi, I'm trying to register the stdout of the command "display interface" inside a HUAWEI using the module "community.network.ce_command". The task fails because the output is too long. These are the playbook's task and the error:

TASK

• name: Interfaces switch/router HUAWEI community.network.ce_command: commands: [display interface] register: uptime_interfaces_error

ERROR

(The output is much longer but I'll not write it all)

TASK [Uptime e Interfaces switch/router HUAWEI] **** fatal: [sea_swi_crdcdc201_gwh]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Command: display interface, 100ge1/0/1 current state : down (ifindex: 5), line protocol current state : down, description:, switch port, pvid : 1, tpid : 8100(hex), the maximum frame length is 9216, internet protocol processing : disabled, ip sending frames' format is pktfmt_ethnt_2, hardware address is 1c3d-2f70-2241, port mode: auto, port split/aggregate: -, speed: auto, loopback: none, duplex: full, negotiation: -, input flow-control: disable, output flow-control: disable, mdi: -, fec: -, last physical up time : -, last physical down time : 2022-07-22 11:02:38+02:00 dst, current system time: 2024-02-07 15:21:25+01:00, statistics last cleared:never, last 300 seconds input rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, last 300 seconds output rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, input peak rate 0 bits/sec, record time: -, output peak rate 0 bits/sec, record time: -, input : 0 bytes, 0 packets, output: 0 bytes, 0 packets, input:, unicast: 0, multicast: 0, broadcast: 0, jumbo: 0, discard: 0, frames: 0, pause: 0, total error: 0, crc: 0, giants: 0, jabbers: 0, fragments: 0, runts: 0, dropevents: 0, alignments: 0, symbols: 0, ignoreds: 0, output:, unicast: 0, multicast: 0, broadcast: 0, jumbo: 0, discard: 0, buffers purged: 0, pause: 0, input bandwidth utilization threshold : 90.00%, output bandwidth utilization threshold: 90.00%, last 300 seconds input utility rate: 0.00%, last 300 seconds output utility rate: 0.00%, 100ge1/0/2 current state : down (ifindex: 6), line protocol current state : down, description:, switch port, pvid : 1, tpid : 8100(hex), the maximum frame length is 9216, internet protocol processing : disabled, ip sending frames' format is pktfmt_ethnt_2, hardware address is 1c3d-2f70-2241, port mode: auto, port split/aggregate: -, speed: auto, loopback: none, duplex: full, negotiation: -, input flow-control: disable, output flow-control: disable, mdi: -, fec: -, last physical up time : -, last physical down time : 2022-07-22 11:02:38+02:00 dst, current system time: 2024-02-07 15:21:25+01:00, statistics last cleared:never, last 300 seconds input rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, last 300 seconds output rate: 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec, input peak rate 0 bits/sec, record time: -, output peak rate 0 bits/sec, record time: -, input : 0 bytes, 0 packets, output: 0 bytes, 0 packets, input:, unicast: 0, multicast: 0, broadcast: 0, jumbo: 0, discard: 0, frames: 0, pause: 0, total error: 0, crc: 0, giants: 0, jabbers: 0, fragments: 0, runts: 0, dropevents: 0, alignments: 0, symbols: 0, ignoreds: 0, output:, unicast: 0, multicast: 0, broadcast: 0, jumbo: 0, discard: 0, buffers purged: 0, pause...

And here it's with JSON format:

Do you know any solution? Because it all works, the "display interface" and all, but it makes the task FAIL

hello @fravilcas , thanks for opening the issue

you could try to ask on the forum in the Get help category

I'll close the issue here as this looks like it is about the general usage. Thank you!
