looks like type attribute is missing for netstat action. I hope #4947 will fix that permanently.

In the meantime, you can add the type attribute and re-register the Linux pack and that should fix the issue.
update /opt/stackstorm/packs/linux/actions/netstat.yaml to

---
  name: "netstat"
  runner_type: "remote-shell-cmd"
  description: "Run netstat"
  enabled: true
  entry_point: ""
  parameters:
    cmd:
      immutable: true
      default: "netstat {{args}}"
    args:
      description: "Command line arguments"
      default: " "
      type: "string"

and re-register the Linux pack using the following command

st2 pack register linux

This should resolve the issue for you.
