I’ve been struggling to get this to work for two days and I’m not getting any further and I’m out of ideas and read everything I could find as far as similar issues other folks had. None seem to help in my case. Help is much appreciated.
I am getting no errors when I run ansible “hostname” -m setup. I see the facts fine on the ansible server and I can run ansible playbooks but the host never gets added to Foreman and no errors or information about the callback getting logged in the production.log.
Problem:
Ansible callback not working. No information logged in foreman/production.log
Other relevant data:
added to ansible.cfg
[defaults]
bin_ansible_callbacks = True
callback_whitelist = foreman foreman-proxy
[callback_foreman]
verify_certs = True # this is a boolean
ssl_key = “/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/private_keys/ansible01.localhost.local.pem”
ssl_cert = “/etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/ansible01.localhost.local.pem”
url = “https://ansible01.localhost.local”
using /etc/hosts file instead of DNS,
ssh remote execution tasks to the ansible server works fine, ssh keys to the server i’m trying to import works also.
This is the command I used to install foreman and plugin.
foreman-installer --enable-foreman-plugin-remote-execution --enable-foreman-proxy-plugin-remote-execution-ssh --enable-foreman-plugin-ansible
[e.g. logs from Foreman and/or the Proxy, modified templates, commands issued, etc]
Not sure if this is helpful but when I remove foreman-proxy from callback_whitelist = foreman foreman-proxy
I get the errors below hence why I added it.

Looking a bit deeper it appears 2.5.1 should already include the fix. Since it doesn’t work for you, I wonder what’s wrong. It looks like it’s resolving the value for URL and then using it as a key. I can’t really explain why that would happen.
Thanks for the update. Do you know why it only happens when I remove foreman-proxy from the callback_whitelist line in /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg? I’m not sure how that line actually effects the callback plugin. Does the callback plugin not run when I add foreman-proxy to the whitelist?
I updated Ansible to version 2.5.2 and hosts are now being added successfully to Foreman.
I did have to fix permissions to be able to read the SSL certificates for my user account that runs ansible and also modified the /etc/environment file as shown below.
have a great weekend.
