not able to assign monitor to service or service_group about ansible-collection-netscaleradc

[chiradeep]

Can you show the playbook that causes the error?

I am trying it against netscaler vpx 12.0-41.16

I could not reproduce the error.

I ran the playbook against the same NS version with you with both python2 and python3 but I did not see the error you mention.

The only error I got was a missing weight value from the monitorbindings entry.

Here is the playbook I ran.

      - servicegroupname: "{{ service_group_name }}"

The only changes I made are the login credentials to the Netscaler node and I added the missing weight value.

Try to install the latest version of the modules from this repo and run the playbook again.

If you encounter an error please run the playbook with -vvv and record the output of the command to help us troubleshoot the issue.

thank you, the weight did the trick :) it is now working perfectly
