ISSUE TYPE

Bug Report

SUMMARY

ENVIRONMENT

AWX version: 4.0.0
AWX install method: docker on linux
Ansible version: 2.8.1
Operating System: Centos7

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

I don't know how to reproduce this issue since I don't know the root cause.

EXPECTED RESULTS

Host variables normally show:

powerstate:
resource_group:
image:
public_ip:
public_ip_name:
ansible_connection:
public_ip_id: >-
id:
os_disk:
security_group_id:
virtual_machine_size:
windows_auto_updates_enabled:
mac_address:
type:
location:
tags:
public_ip_alloc_method:
provisioning_state:
plan:
computer_name:
windows_timezone:
ansible_host:
name:
windows_rm: null
fqdn:
network_interface_id:
private_ip_alloc_method:
security_group:
network_interface:
private_ip:
private_ipv4_addresses:
public_dns_hostnames:
public_ipv4_addresses:
resource_type:
vmid:
vmss:

ACTUAL RESULTS

I have a host which only shows the following variables:

ansible_host:
computer_name:
id:
image:
location:
mac_address:
name:
network_interface:
network_interface_id:
os_disk:
plan:
powerstate:
private_ip:
private_ipv4_addresses:
provisioning_state:
public_dns_hostnames:
public_ip:
public_ip_id:
public_ip_name:
public_ipv4_addresses:
resource_group:
resource_type:
security_group:
security_group_id:
tags:
type:
virtual_machine_size:
vmid:
vmss:

So for example public_ip_alloc_method and private_ip_alloc_method is missing.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I've tried to delete the inventory and start again but same result. Other hosts show all variables.
We had no issue before version 4.0.0 with this host.

@AlanCoding @kdelee Can you take a look at this one?

The variables fqdn, public_ip_alloc_method, and private_ip_alloc_method were established to be missing from the inventory plugin, and left out knowingly. There is some discussion here:

https://github.com/ansible/ansible/pull/53046

If you have a specific use case that needs these variables, the details of that that would be important information for us to have.

In addition to those, your data shows

'windows_auto_updates_enabled'
'ansible_connection'
'windows_rm: null'
'windows_timezone'

to be missing. The ansible_connection looks like it has been resolved on the core side in https://github.com/ansible/ansible/issues/34689, which may require an upgrade of Ansible for your case.

That leaves 3 more variables without any other background, all which start with windows_. It's possible that we may not have known about that because we had a testing gap. We did not see these missing with other instance types. I'm guessing these were Windows boxes? Ping @kdelee
