Hi Omodotun,
I think that's because your Ansible config file is too old.
It's old format.
You should use new syntax in the config file.
Here is my example
ansible.cfg
=====
[defaults]
inventory = ./inventory
private_key_file = ~/.ssh/id_rsa.field.private
=====
inventory file :
=====
[cdp]
zzeng01.novalocal
zzeng02.novalocal
zzeng03.novalocal
zzeng04.novalocal
=====
Then
[centos@zzeng01 ~]$ ansible cdp -m ping
zzeng02.novalocal | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
},
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
zzeng04.novalocal | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
},
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
zzeng03.novalocal | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
},
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
zzeng01.novalocal | SUCCESS => {
"ansible_facts": {
"discovered_interpreter_python": "/usr/libexec/platform-python"
},
"changed": false,
"ping": "pong"
}
