I am trying to run my first playbook. Running AWX on CentOS8,trying to connect to remote device using SSH. On my remote device I have run ssh-genkey on my device and added the .pub key to authorized_keys file. I have also taken the .pub private key and created a credentials machine type and added the private key. Username and password are blank. I can only connect using root user to my remote device enter image description here
My playbook is:
- name: use machine credentials(1)
hosts: ACS
connection: ssh
gather_facts: false
timeout: 10
tasks:
- name: Get firmware version from host
shell: "date"
#shell: cat /firmware | grep ^VERSION | cut -d"=" -f2
register: firmware_version
tags: firmware_version
I am trying to SSH to my remote devicve and read the firmware details from a file on the remote device.
When I run my playbook the output fails and I do not believe it is connecting to the remote device. I can manually SSH from my AWX host to the remote device from a putty session. I tried with private key file on the AWX host and can SSH to my remote device using the key from putty.
Output from AWX:
