When I look at any of my hosts in AWX, none of them have any facts. I’ve read the docs [here](https://github.com/ansible/awx/blob/devel/docs/fact_cache.md) but I still haven’t gotten any further. Per-Host Ansible Fact Cache Timeout is set to 0 in settings, and the template being run has Use Fact Cache enabled. What am I missing? ---

Are you running a Job Template with a playbook that invokes the setup module (gather facts) ? ---

Here is a basic playbook I just created to attempt to gather facts. I set gather\_facts to true even though I believe it to be true by default. - hosts: all gather\_facts: True tasks: - setup: The template runs successfully, but upon inspecting the scanned host, the gui does not show any facts.
