The children of a group in the inventory are assumed to be hostnames, not other groups. This is why ssh is trying to find that groupname in the ssh config, because it's supposed to be a host.
If you want to put a group as a child of another group you need to use this syntax: [productiont:children] webservers databases See http://docs.ansible.com/intro_inventory.html On Mon, Nov 3, 2014 at 11:07 AM, ansi...@construct.pm <m...@construct.pm> wrote: > To clarify my inventory file now looks like this: > > [webservers] > hostname01 > > [databases] > hostname02 > > [production] > webservers > databases > > > On Monday, November 3, 2014 4:05:36 PM UTC, ans...@construct.pm wrote: >> >> Hi there, >> >> I have a simple inventory file and a ssh config entry for each host. >> >> Inventory file: >> ``` >> [webservers] >> hostname01 >> >> [databases] >> hostname02 >> ``` >> ssh config: >> ``` >> Host hostname01 >> HostName hostname01.domain.com >> IdentityFile hostkey.key >> >> Host hostname02 >> HostName hostname02.domain.com >> IdentityFile hostkey.key >> ``` >> This all worked file then I added a group of groups to the inventory and >> not Ansible is searching for webservers not hostname01 in ssh config.
