vmware_vm_inventory.yml

Hi folks

I am new to the Ansible AWX environment. I installed a working Docker AWX container 17.1.0 last year. My inventories were running against our VMware infrastructure until 12/27/21, using the “community.vmware.vmware_vm_inventory” plugin. Nothing was changed in the source files. The following error occurs now since 12/28/21

vmware_vm_inventory.yml with autoplugin: Could not template any hostname for host, errors for each preference:
config.name + “_” + config.uuid: ‘config’ is undefined

Does anyone know this problem? I tried to find answers on the internet, but without success. So I hope that someone here can help me.

Thanks in advance
Thomas

Hi,

the inventory plugin behaves other than you would expect, coming from Ansible.
… At least it does so from my point of view.

You might want to try and put your full template string into single quotes (like this: ‘config.name + “_” + config.uuid’)
In the last example in the documentation it is also done like that:

Hi,

To let know everyone.
We had this issue, because one VM had an invalid state and blocked everything.
We removed it and it starting to work again.

Best regards,
