Hi,

I’m using awx-operator 0.23.0.

I’m getting the below error in the awx-manager pod -

{“level”:“error”,“ts”:1678208786.8083763,“logger”:“controller-runtime.manager.controller.awx-controller”,“msg”:“Reconciler error”,“name”:“awx”,“namespace”:“ansible-awx”,“ **error":"event runner on failed** ”,“stacktrace”:“[sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(\*Controller).processNextWorkItem](http://sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(*Controller).processNextWorkItem)\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.9.2/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:253\nsigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime/pkg/internal/controller.(\*Controller).Start.func2.2\n\t/go/pkg/mod/sigs.k8s.io/controller-runtime@v0.9.2/pkg/internal/controller/controller.go:214”}

… due to which the manager isn’t able to startup the AWX pod.

I have been using the same source code and this was working as expected until March 3rd. How can i resolve this?

Only controller-manager pod is deployed and healthy. It’s not able to deploy AWX due to the mentioned error -  
[user@hostname ~]$ kubectl get deployments -n ansible-awx  
NAME READY UP-TO-DATE AVAILABLE AGE  
controller-manager 1/1 1 1 7d

Can you please try to deploy with something newer than operator 0.23? that is pretty dated at this point. Let us know it deploys correctly with 1.3.0  
Thanks, let us know how it goes
