I'm getting the following when trying to run a playbook using the edgeos_commandmodule:

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: ssh connection failed: ssh connect failed: Failed to resolve hostname inventory_hostname (Name or service not known)
fatal: [ADM-TEST]: FAILED! => {
  "changed": false,
  "module_stderr": "...",
  "module_stdout": "",
  "msg": "MODULE FAILURE\nSee stdout/stderr for the exact error",
  "rc": 1
}

Where module_stderr contains:

ansible.module_utils.connection.ConnectionError: ssh connection failed: ssh connect failed: Failed to resolve hostname inventory_hostname (Name or service not known)

It's strange because I'm able to ssh into the target device just fine. I started with a simple playbook, and planned to build on it once I tested out the edgeos module

Here is the playbook:

- name: Update External ERX with latest firmware
  hosts: externaledgerouters
  remote_user: BudAdmin
  tasks:
    - name: Update ERX Firmwae
      community.network.edgeos_command:
       commands: show system image

In my ansible.cfg I have inventory pointing to the hosts file

Here's how I formatted my inventory in hosts file:

externaledgerouters:
 hosts:
  ADM-TEST:
   ansible_host: (ipv4 public IP)

Defined variables at the bottom in the same hosts file:

edgerouters:
 vars:
  ansible_user: (user)
  ansible_port: (port)
  ansible_pass: (password)
  ansible_connection: network_cli
  ansible_network_os: edgeos
 children:
  externaledgerouters:

I've tried numerous things to get this to run and I've hit a wall. Any assistance is appreciated.

    The error message is `Failed to resolve hostname inventory_hostname`. It looks like you may be using the literal value `inventory_hostname` where you intend to be using a variable. WIthout seeing your playbook and inventory it's impossible to say where the problem is. – larsks Sep 23 '22 at 02:35

After sometime, I figured this out. There were a few issues with the .ssh/known_hosts file and running the playbooks for the edge routers

I regenerated the keys for both test hosts ssh-keygen R HOSTNAME - also had to add write permissions to local known_hosts file chmod +w ~/.ssh/known_hosts -- then I was able to run the playbooks without issue
