NetBox version

v3.2.5

Python version

3.9

Steps to Reproduce

Environment: Sandbox closed
Rocky Linux 3.8
ansible 2.12.2 core
python 3.9.7
pynetbox 6.6.2-3
Postgresql 13.7
Nginx being used as proxy with self signed cert

Trying to get ansible to connect to Netbox API with simple playbook:

  • name: "Test NetBox modules"
    connection: local
    hosts: localhost
    collections:

    • netbox.netbox
      vars:
      ansible_python_interpreter: /usr/bin/python3
      gather_facts: False

    tasks:

    • name: "Example site: present - Update"
      netbox_site:
      netbox_url: https://netbox.mrelab.net
      netbox_token: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
      data:
      name: California
      state: "present"
      validate_certs: "false"

"msg": "Failed to establish connection to NetBox API"

The server works fine via my browser. I have also used Postman to access the Netbox API using my token with success using get devices and my devices were returned so I know the server and API are working.

Expected Behavior

Should add a region California to Netbox

Observed Behavior

The full traceback is:
