I'm hoping someone can help me figure out what is going on within my ansible environment. When I try and use gather_facts inside a playbook I get a failure to connect over ssh to that system. However, if I do not gather_facts the playbook will run. The error I am getting is below. Has anyone dealt with this in the past, and if so could you help me figure out what is going on?

Thanks

Zack
