Our AWX implementation has suddenly stopped launching jobs. When launching them from templates, they got queued properly but then just get stuck “STATUS” of “Pending”, and the Standard Out field just shows “Waiting for results”. When looking at the process list on awx\_task, it looks like the job never even starts. I’ve tried shutting down all containers and starting them again, to no avail. I’m suspecting a problem with rabbitmq but not sure where to look. Any ideas? ---

Hi, I tried increasing the vm to 2CPU and 4G mem and got the same result. I am new to awx. Appreciated if you could point me to the log file or any place to check. Thanks ---

Hi Juliana, without seeing any logs from your containers it’s hard to know… you are definitely under provisioning AWX though. ---

The problem fixed. I am not sure if it is because I rebooted the server. Thanks for your help.
