You need to configure the callback, as otherwise it doesn’t know how to talk to Foreman.

The installer would have done this for you, or you can place something like the following into your ansible.cfg

[callback_foreman]
url = https://foreman.example.com
3

grep -v # /etc/foreman-proxy/ansible.cfg | grep -v ^$

[defaults]

callback_whitelist = theforeman.foreman.foreman

local_tmp = /tmp

host_key_checking = False

stdout_callback = yaml

roles_path = /etc/ansible/roles:/usr/share/ansible/roles

collections_paths = /etc/ansible/collections:/usr/share/ansible/collections

[callback_foreman]

url=https://foreman.example.com

ssl_cert = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/foreman.eng.example.com.pem

ssl_key = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/private_keys/foreman.eng.example.com.pem

verify_certs = /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/ssl/certs/ca.pem

[ssh_connection]

ssh_args = -o ProxyCommand=none -C -o ControlMaster=auto -o ControlPersist=60s

4

grep -v # /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg | grep -v ^$

[defaults]

inventory = /etc/ansible/foreman.ini

callback_whitelist = foreman

callback_plugins = ~/.ansible/plugins/callback_plugins/

bin_ansible_callbacks = True

[inventory]

[privilege_escalation]

[paramiko_connection]

[ssh_connection]

[persistent_connection]

[accelerate]

Thank you for reply. I did configure [callback_foreman] and facing the same issue.

How are you calling Ansible? CLI? Foreman UI?

8

CLI, I haven’t try through Foreman UI.
ansible -m setup 10.10.198.174

9

through CLI.

10

If you run it via CLI, /etc/foreman-proxy/ansible.cfg isn’t read, and your /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg doesn’t have any references to the Foreman callback config.

11

How would I make it work through CLI and if I want call playbook using foreman GUI keep it same config files will callback work? would you please guide me if I want to make it work using CLI? Thanks!

12

I have changed /etc/ansible.ansible.cfg to callback_forman. I am not getting error of url as mentioned above but the host has not been added to foreman UI.

13

You can set the path to the config using the ANSIBLE_CONFIG environment variable.

But as you seem to got that part working now, I don’t know how the host creation in Foreman itself is supposed to work.

@Marek_Hulan @ezr-ondrej might know better
