Running ansible role on a host from foreman UI

Support
1

Hello,
I have ansible installed on my foreman host. I was able to run playbook
from command line and view the reports in foreman without errors. But I am
not able to trigger the role run from foreman UI.

cat /etc/ansible/roles/ntp/tasks/main.yml

··· ---

  • name: Install ntp

    yum: name=ntp state=present

I had associated this role with my localhost and tried to run the role from
Web UI -> Hosts -> Select Host -> Click Play Ansible Roles button.

I was watching the logs and it looks like the role run is triggered in the
background. But the call is not finished (ntp package not installed on my
host) and I don’t see an ansible report posted to foreman too. Any idea of
what is going wrong here?

tail -f /var/log/foreman/*.log

Hi, from the looks of that log, it ran but never returned anything. It's
quite possible that if you're running this as the foreman user (Foreman
runs as user 'foreman') but that user doesn't have the callback plugin
installed, you won't get any reports.

What's the content of
/tmp/foreman-ansible-myhost-roles20160816-1467-1dpx0mq and
/tmp/foreman-70f95183-725c-4713-95a5-da25269d1425-inventory20160816-1467-kcz14e
?

Notice you can follow what happened at the PID 3148 , so 'tail -f
/proc/3148/fd/1', or 'reptyr 3148' might give you more info about what
happened
