Collect service facts fail. Ansible 2.9.6 and Ubuntu 20.04 host

[sondreengebraten]

Hi!

I get the following error when trying this role on a Ubuntu 20.04 host using Ansible 2.9.6.

TASK [ansible-role-elk-auditbeat : (Linux) Collect service facts] ************** fatal: [<hostname>]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "msg": "Malformed output discovered from systemd list-unit-files: accounts-daemon.service enabled enabled "}

This is supposed to be fixed but somehow still results in an error. See this issue ansible/ansible#68211

Any ideas?

Thanks

Well, I checked it out but since 2.9.6 is a version from 2019 I can't event easily install it. As I understand it the fix for the mentioned issue was backported into 2.9. Do you have a version with the patch applied? You can verify this by checking the service_facts.py module against this PR

It does seem to work ok on 2.13.6 so I suggest upgrading ansible version is the easiest way to go.
