Hello,  
We’re running AWX version 17.0.1 and our jobs take anywhere from 10 - 15 minutes to show any output. The job is in a running state, not pending while waiting for the job output to display. This is only occurring when running a job from a rather large inventory, several thousand devices. Is there anything we can do to speed this up? We’ve considered segregating the inventory into smaller “chunks” to see if this helps.

Hello, appears you are on an older version of AWX. Curious if you would experience this on later versions, please try upgrading or testing out a fresh install of AWX latest and seeing if that helps.

Thank you, yes I’ve considered that :-). Another team manages our instance. What is the simplest way to do an installation locally for me to test?
