Hello Team,

Do we have any method to pull inventory from spacewalk into AWX?

I tried to use Redhat Satellite 6 as source , but it failed with below error

Plugin ini failed: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/plugins/inventory/foreman.py:24: Expected key=value host variable assignment, got: future

Does anyone have better solution for this ?

Hello Prashakh,

I’ve faced a similar or identical problem and discovered this site while trying too google the error “Plugin ini failed: /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/awx/plugins/inventory/foreman.py:24: Expected key=value host variable assignment, got: future”.

It seems to solely depend on the role configured on Spacewalk / Satellite. View facts and host groups permissions plus view hosts permissions appear to be required. Problems seem to start when trying to filter the role’s rights by host collection. I had some logical errors in there before (filtering hosts by collection without having permissions to view collections), still having some issues even after resolving that (or so I believe) though. Yet, simpler filters work (like, viewing hosts filtered by specific hostnames). So presumably it’s still mostly a matter of wrong role permissions.
