Hi,
I am a novice to AWX. I have more than 200+ on-prem SLES12 servers in the inventory file. In AWX UI, how to create one group containing those 200+ servers to perform a ping test and create a report out of it. Could you please share with me the steps to try that?
Thanks!
Load the inventory file into awx and then in awx you can create a group with all hosts, or multiple groups. If your running the playbook against all the hosts the in the play book set hosts to all
You can create a github (or other supported scm) repo that contains your inventory.ini file. In AWX you can create a project based on this repo. Then create an inventory and inventory source that points to this project and inventory.ini file. From you can run jobs against this inventory, such as ad hoc ping.
Here is more information on creating projects and inventory sources
