Hello together,
i have a Problem and i cant figure it out by myselve.

With This Play i can add a Host to my AWX Inventory.

  • name: Add Win host to Inventory:

name: “{{ host_name }}”

tower_host:

tower_username:

tower_password:

description: “{{ host_desc }}”

inventory: “Windows_Servers”

state: present

validate_certs: False

This play works fine. But how i can add this host to a group that exist in the inventory Windows_Servers ?

Cheers,
Chris

The formatting is a little mixed up but it looks like you are using awx.awx.host module for this.
To create and manage groups (including adding hosts to them), try looking at the awx.awx.group module.

Tanks for your help!

It is working but now i have another Problem.
Adding a new Host to a Group is deleting all existing Hosts in this group.
How can i fix that ?

  • name: Add tower group tower_group:

name: win_svr

inventory: “Windows_Servers”

hosts: “{{ host_name }}”

state: present

tower_host:

tower_username:

tower_password:
validate_certs: False

Cheers
Chris

Try using the preserve_existing_hosts parameter https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/awx/awx/group_module.html#parameter-preserve_existing_hosts
