Hey ,

do we have to put variable in hosts configuration for connecting host with awx ui using ssh ?  
ansible\_host: 172.16.145.49  
ansible\_connection: local  
//ansible\_python\_interpreter: ‘{{ ansible\_playbook\_python }}’  
ansible\_ssh\_pass: Suchi@123  
ansible\_sudo\_pass: Suchi@123  
ansible\_connection: ssh  
ansible\_port: 22  
ansible\_user: suchi  
ansible\_become: true

this is my variables but it gives error : “msg”: “Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: connect to host 172.19.0.3 port 22: Connection timed out”,  
but when i remove ansible\_ssh\_pass, ansible\_ssh\_connection , ssudo\_pass

ping playbook working properly but playbook which install package is not working

Are you setting up an inventory with the hosts to run this job template with? you may need to create a machine credential with the ssh key, and attach the credential to the job template.

here is the official docs for setting up an inventory [https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/inventories.html](https://docs.ansible.com/automation-controller/latest/html/userguide/inventories.html)

Hope that helps
