OS / ENVIRONMENT / Zabbix Version

Client:

MacOS 15.3.2

Server: Zabbix 7.2

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

- name: Create or update a proxy with proxy type active (Zabbix version >= 7.0)
  community.zabbix.zabbix_proxy:
    proxy_name: "{{ host.system.hostname }}"
    description: "Proxy installed on {{ host.system.hostname }}"
    operating_mode: active
    state: present
    allowed_addresses: "{{ zabbix.sourceip }}"
    tls_accept: "PSK"
    tls_psk: "{{ zabbix.proxypsk }}"
    tls_psk_identity: "PSKProxy"
  delegate_to: localhost

EXPECTED RESULTS

Adding Zabbix Proxy to Zabbix Master

ACTUAL RESULTS

An exception occurred during task execution. To see the full traceback, use -vvv. The error was: NoneType: None
fatal: [zabbix.test.local]: FAILED! => changed=false 
  msg: No fact modules available and we could not find a fact module for your network OS (community.zabbix.zabbix), try setting one via the `FACTS_MODULES` configuration.

I think you're using this module wrong, and sorry it's really poorly documented under #usage

You probably want to do some thing like;

- name: Create or update a proxy with proxy type active (Zabbix version >= 7.0)
  vars:
    ansible_network_os: community.zabbix.zabbix
    ansible_connection: httpapi
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: false  # Set to true for HTTPS
    ansible_httpapi_port: 80
    ansible_user: Admin
    ansible_httpapi_pass: zabbix
    ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: false  # For HTTPS et to true to validate server's certificate
  community.zabbix.zabbix_proxy:
    proxy_name: "{{ host.system.hostname }}"
    description: "Proxy installed on {{ host.system.hostname }}"
    operating_mode: active
    state: present
    allowed_addresses: "{{ zabbix.sourceip }}"
    tls_accept: "PSK"
    tls_psk: "{{ zabbix.proxypsk }}"
    tls_psk_identity: "PSKProxy"
  delegate_to: zabbix-api.example.com

To avoid all this clutter in your playbooks, you'd put it in the inventory instead;

---
zabbix:
  hosts:
    zabbix-api.example.com:
      ansible_network_os: community.zabbix.zabbix
      ansible_connection: httpapi
      ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true
      ansible_user: Admin
      ansible_httpapi_pass: zabbix
      ansible_host: zabbix-api.example.com
      ansible_httpapi_port: 443
      ansible_zabbix_url_path: ''

And either delegate those individual tasks to that host, or just run a whole playbook of zabbix module tasks against that host.

Ah, I see. I thought I tested it that way, but I'll have a look later. Yesterday I wrote my Playbook to make this changes with uri via the API

[ljvdhooft]

I'm having the same issue, my playbook ran fine before, now I need to specify ansible_network_os: community.zabbix.zabbix at task-level

[WouterVanHecke123]

I suddenly have the same with a playbook that was working 2 weeks ago and I'm supplying the necessary vars. I temporarily circumvented it by adding gather_facts: no to my playbook. No clue why this is suddenly happening though...

[eb4x]

I believe this has been the way to do things since atleast 2.0, did any of you recently update your ansible collection?

I'd be curious to see you run ansible-galaxy collection install 'community.zabbix<2.0.0' where you can swap out 2.0.0 with whatever you need to get your playbooks to run again.
