    I have this problem: I am using the vSphere Replication API to get disk information for a specific VM that is being replicated:
     
     - name: Get session id 
         ansible.builtin.uri:
           url: "https://{{ api }}/api/rest/vr/v2/session/"
           method: POST
           user: "{{ username }}"
           password: "{{ password }}"
           headers:
             Content-Type: "application/json"
           validate_certs: no
         register: api
         delegate_to: localhost
     
       - name: debug
         debug:
           msg: "{{ api }}"
       - name: GET replications
         ansible.builtin.uri:
           url: "https://{{ api }}/api/rest/vr/v2/pairings/{{ pairing_id }}/replications?source_vc_guid={{ source_vc_guid }}"
           method: GET
           headers:
             Content-Type: "application/json"
             x-dr-session: "{{ api.json.session_id }}"
           validate_certs: no
         register: replications_all
         delegate_to: localhost
     
       - name: Get info about disks by hostname
         ansible.builtin.uri:
           url: "https://{{ api }}/api/rest/vr/v2/pairings/{{ pairing_id }}/replications/{{some_id}}/disks"
           method: GET
           headers:
             Content-Type: "application/json"
             x-dr-session: "{{ api.json.session_id }}"
         delegate_to: localhost
     
       - name: Logout
         ansible.builtin.uri:
           url: "https://{{ api }}/api/rest/vr/v2/session/}"
           method: DELETE
           headers:
             Content-Type: "application/json"
             x-dr-session: "{{ api.json.session_id }}"
           body_format: json
           validate_certs: no
         register: logout_source_session
         delegate_to: localhost
     
    The issue is that vSphere Replication, to which I am sending the API requests, creates sessions with vCenter that are never closed. In the GUI, there are sessions with my login and the address 127.0.0.1. Every time I query the disks, new sessions are created between the replication and vCenter. The result is that the sessions linger on vCenter and multiply every time Ansible is run. So, in total, a single query for one server creates about 20-30 sessions. Does anyone know what the problem could be?
