Ansible issue with port channels

I was using Ansible to push interface information(desc, mtu, name...) from cisco ASR to netbox. Normal interfaces were pushed successfully, but when Ansible pulled the info from Port channels, all the port channels were looped and broadcast storm was caused(info was pushed to netbox tho). There was more than 500000 packets per second on each port channel interface. I did the same on a few cisco switch and nothing bad happened.

Anyone knows what caused this and how to prevent it?

edit: the module was cisco ios gather facts all. I want to know if is there anything more lightweight or optimised so it won't cause loops and broadcast storms on port channels.

Dashboard can't pull interfaces with asterisk

So I am trying to put ingress broadcast packets per second statistic for each interface on dashboard, but the thing is it pulls only one interface even though I use " *Broadcast packets received"(that's item prototype name). When I pull each interface directly, it pulls as it should, It's only the asterisk time when not working. Although, that asterisk method worked for Cisco switch (problem is with juniper) and also same switch's multicast ingress statistics.

If anybody has had same issue and solved, please help.

pink circle should say Inbound broadcast per interface, not total, i did the name wrong
