Unable to run against linux machines (redhat)

[aram535]

Describe the bug Role seems to think linux machine is an ec2_compute node. It's a VM. I suspect this is some sort of version issue since this playbook/role have worked well in the past and there have been multiple ansible upgrades since. I have checked to see if there are any other dependencies but none are listed.

Installation method/version Ansible host is a RedHat 8 VM, target is a RedHat 8 VM

Installed via ansible-galaxy role install dj-wasabi.telegraf

$ ansible-galaxy role list  dj-wasabi.telegraf
# /home/ansible/.ansible/roles
- dj-wasabi.telegraf, 0.13.2

Ansible:

$ ansible --version 
ansible [core 2.12.2]
  config file = /home/ansible/work/ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = ['/home/ansible/work/library']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python3.8/site-packages/ansible
  ansible collection location = /home/ansible/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections
  executable location = /bin/ansible
  python version = 3.8.12 (default, Sep 16 2021, 10:46:05) [GCC 8.5.0 20210514 (Red Hat 8.5.0-3)]
  jinja version = 2.10.3
  libyaml = True

Targetted hosts Concerns the following OS(es):

• CentOS (Redhat 8)

Expected behavior Telegraf is installed and started

  reason: |-
    couldn't resolve module/action 'ec2_metadata_facts'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

    The error appears to be in '/home/ansible/.ansible/roles/dj-wasabi.telegraf/tasks/configure_linux.yml': line 4, column 3, but may
    be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

    The offending line appears to be:

Hi,

there is a dependency to amazon.aws.ec2_metadata_facts. To get rid of that error, you need to add the aws collection:

ansible-galaxy collection install amazon.aws
