Where this task come from? We don't have it in current role version and we also don't use grafana_datasource module.

[alfozan]

I found it in the ansible docs: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/2.5/modules/grafana_datasource_module.html

1. You are referencing a problem with a module which isn't used by this role.
2. You are not using any variable from our role in this task.

Closing since this is NOT related to ansible-grafana but more likely to ansible itself.
