Hello. I have a problem with the inventory sync from satellite. Until a few days ago it was working correctly. Now it fails returning the following error: ```auto ansible-inventory [core 2.15.13] config file = None configured module search path = ['/runner/.ansible/plugins/modules', '/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules'] ansible python module location = /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/ansible ansible collection location = /runner/.ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections:/usr/share/automation-controller/collections executable location = /usr/local/bin/ansible-inventory python version = 3.11.11 (main, Dec 3 2024, 00:00:00) [GCC 11.5.0 20240719 (Red Hat 11.5.0-2)] (/usr/bin/python3.11) jinja version = 3.1.4 libyaml = True No config file found; using defaults Using inventory plugin 'ansible_collections.theforeman.foreman.plugins.inventory.foreman' to process inventory source '/runner/inventory/foreman.yml' /usr/local/lib/python3.11/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:1099: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 'satellite.example.com'.

Hi to all I am resuming this topic as I still have not found a solution. ☹ The problem would seem to be related to the version of python used (3.11.11) by the sync job, but on all AWX PODs the version appears to be 3.9.18), even on the pod created when sync starts Where is this version of python taken from? AWX was some time ago installed using the indications given here: > **[GitHub - kurokobo/awx-on-k3s: An example implementation of AWX on single node...](https://github.com/kurokobo/awx-on-k3s)** > > An example implementation of AWX on single node K3s using AWX Operator, with easy-to-use simplified configuration with ownership of data and passwords. On another installation of AWX the sync is done using version 3.9.X and everything works Does anyone have any ideas? ---

I solved with the puthon version problem. It was related to the EE used for sync. It now results as 3.9.18, but the problem persists. ```auto Loading collection theforeman.foreman from /usr/share/ansible/collections/ansible_collections/theforeman/foreman Using inventory plugin 'ansible_collections.theforeman.foreman.plugins.inventory.foreman' to process inventory source '/runner/inventory/foreman.yml' /usr/local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/urllib3/connectionpool.py:1064: InsecureRequestWarning: Unverified HTTPS request is being made to host 'satellite.xxx.xxx.xx'.
