I have Ansible and Jenkins installed on Different Servers how can i configure both

[Sai Prasha]

I have Ansible and Jenkins on Windows but on different servers how can i establish a connection between this two to trigger a playbook based on inventory files

What is the inventory path to be given? 

My inventory file is as shown below 

[win]

10.96.43.61

10.96.43.177

[win:vars]

ansible_user=Administrator

ansible_password=N0b0r33l

ansible_connection=winrm

ansible_winrm_server_cert_validation=ignore

You can use the not-particularly-helpfully-named 'Publish Over SSH' Jenkins plugin https://plugins.jenkins.io/publish-over-ssh which lets you run arbitrary commands as well as transferring files.

If your playbooks run for more than 2 minutes you will need to configure the 'Exec timeout (ms)' setting ( I found I had to do this in the common jenkins configuration and individually on each Jenkins job).

Hope this helps,
