Import kibana dashboard using ansible

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

Hi, I have exported kibana dashboard in ndjson format. now i want to import it to another instance of kibana. I am doing this using ansible playbook. This is my command

curl -X POST "*Reverse_PROXY_IP/kibana*/api/saved_objects/_import?createNewCopies=true" -H "Content-Type: application/x-ndjson" --form file=@./dashboard.ndjson -u name:pwd

I have put this command in a shell script which is being run by ansible.
Now I am getting this error when running the playbook

The full traceback is:

If i run this command manually from the ansible machine( which is also my reverse proxy machine) it works fine. but not using playbook.
Note kibana is having a private ip only and is using reverse proxy. This same setup worked totally fine with kibana having public ip and no RP. Unable to figure out where the issue is!
Also the same ndjson file is getting imported from d UI

For me it looks like ansible can't access the dashboard.ndjson? you could try an absolute path maybe? or maybe use a tool to convert your curl command Ansible which allows also to provided files with the right path?
Best,

i tried changing the path . but no luck. It has given something related to ssh also in the errors. Not able to figure the exact cause!
