Could not resolve hostname: Name or service not known

[krishna]

Hi,

I am using AWX 17.1.0 docker install. Inventory Source --> Amazon EC2 and updated source variables in inventory source to 
hostnames: 'tag:Name'

It shows all the hosts but when I run a job it throws: Failed to connect to the host via ssh: ssh: Could not resolve hostname: Name or service not known.

Does anyone had the similar issue and were able to resolve this?

Thanks

Can someone please help with this issue?

Hi there,

The team thinks you may be having troubles with internal/routable hostnames. You can work around this by picking another identifier to get the hostname of the server that should be in the inventory. (the variable for that https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/collections/amazon/aws/aws_ec2_inventory.html#parameter-hostnames).

The general docs for selecting the options instead of the hostname are here: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/userguide/inventories.html#amazon-web-services-ec2

cheers,

AWX Team
