Hello @Ankit !

Hope you are having a great day!
Thank you for asking a Question! We are Glad to Assist you!

As per the error, what I can conclude is that rsync is not present/installed and hence you are receiving the above stated error.
You can automate installation of base packages on your node. Sharing here apt module definition of the same.

- name: "Installing Rsync"  
  apt: >  
    pkg={{ item }}  
    state=latest  
    update_cache=yes  
    cache_valid_time=3600  
  with_items:  
  - rsync  

Yum module definition would look something like below.

- name: install the latest version of rsync  
  yum:  
    name: rsync  
    state: latest  

You can also install rsync using the below mentioned commands.

On Centos:

yum install -y rsync  

On Ubuntu:

apt install -y rsync  

Let me know if the above solution resolved your issue!
