Hi All,

I’m new to AWX and have a question around dynamic inventory scripts.

AWX/Tower documentation points to the ansible contrib/inventory for examples and I want to use one of these to get my inventory, however it has a seperate config file from the main inventory script like most of them do. How do I handle this within AWX as I don’t want to store credentials within the script?

Regards,

Stephen
