Backing up Mikrotik routers with Ansible - help needed

I am a long time sysadmin who in the past year has done more and more network admin work. I decided to start backing up Cisco Switch configs with Ansible last week and have that working, mostly because there is lots to google on the subject. My boss LOVES the project and would like me to do the same with Mikrotik routers. I enabled SSH to one router and am trying a host file and playbook that I have found online and cannot get any combination of values to work. Any help on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Below are the technical details I am working with.

​

Ansible VM Ubuntu Desktop 20

Hosts file I am working with (Cisco switches are backing up normally.

[Switches:vars]

ansible_python_interpreter=/bin/python3

ansible_connection=local

device_type=cisco_ios

ansible_user=user

ansible_password=password

​

[Switches]

Core2 ansible_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Core3 ansible_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Core ansible_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

​

[mikrotik:vars]

ansible_python_interpreter=/bin/python3

ansible_connection=local

ansible_network_os=routeros

ansible_user=user

ansible_password=password

​

[mikrotik]

Main ansible_host=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

​

Cisco playbook that works

---

## Playbook to get system time and append it to backup files

​

- hosts: localhost

​

tasks:

- name: Get ansible date/time facts

setup:

filter: "ansible_date_time"

gather_subset: "!all"

​

- name: Store DTG as fact

set_fact:

DTG: ""

​

- name: Create Directory

file:

path: ~/etc/ansible/Backups/

state: directory

run_once: true

​

- hosts: Switches

​

tasks:

- name: Backup Catalyst Switch

​

ios_config:

backup: yes

backup_options:

filename: "--config.txt"

dir_path: /etc/ansible/Backups/

​

I have tried to piece together a Mikrotik playbook, but get failures when running.

The error in Ansible is pasted below (without the device name)

fatal: [Main]: FAILED! => {"changed": true, "msg": "non-zero return code", "rc": 127, "stderr": "/bin/sh: 1: /system: not found\n", "stderr_lines": ["/bin/sh: 1: /system: not found"], "stdout": "", "stdout_lines": []}

Again, any help is greatly appreciated!
