Description

# ansible-playbook newrelic.yml 
[WARNING]: provided hosts list is empty, only localhost is available. Note that the implicit localhost does not match 'all'
ERROR! couldn't resolve module/action 'ansible.windows.win_file'. This often indicates a misspelling, missing collection, or incorrect module path.

The error appears to be in '/root/.ansible/roles/newrelic.newrelic_install/tasks/windows.yml': line 14, column 3, but may
be elsewhere in the file depending on the exact syntax problem.

The offending line appears to be:

- name: Touch verbose output log file
  ^ here

Thanks

Hi @mariusa , based on your example playbook, I think you're looking for newrelic.newrelic-infra https://galaxy.ansible.com/newrelic/newrelic-infra

[mariusa]

Here's the updated ansible script for this version, same issue:

Thanks for following up @mariusa

We're trying to repro. It looks like you're targeting localhost on Fedora. Would you mind sharing your command you use to run the playbook?

[rthorn-nr]

Was able to reproduce. Would you please run the following command to install collection dependencies and try again:

ansible-galaxy collection install ansible.windows ansible.utils

[mariusa]

Thanks, it did work now. It ended with

        "status": "INCOMPLETE",
        "summary": [
            "  Installation Summary",

            "  ⊘  logs-integration  (unsupported)  ",
            "",
            "  Installation incomplete. Follow the instructions at the URL below to complete the installation process. ",
            "",

            "",
            "",
            "We encountered an issue during the installation: no recipes were installed.",

Should I file another issue for this?

Hi @mariusa! I believe that is because Fedora is not supported by the infrastructure agent. See here, please (and logs requires infrastructure).
