  • I haven't spoken to Ansible support yet. I was thinking this would be very trivial and have an easy fix. I will speak to Ansible support May 13, 2015 at 16:55

I reached out Ansible Support and apparently they acknowledged that the Tower Version which I was then using [ 2.1.3 ] had some bugs and they recommended to upgrade to 2.1.4 solved the issue.

Update : More to it, I was using Instance size of t2.micro - which they recommended to use an instance with higher Memory Capacity - running that with m3.medium did the trick.

"stdout capture missing" typically means the Tower job failed before it got properly started. That can happen with gross misconfiguration or yml format issues. I think I've seen it with bad job template vars too.

The job info page should explain what happened. If not, you can hit up the API: /api/v1/jobs/123/

  • I have spoken to Ansible Support and they are currently looking at my sosreport. I get the same error even if I do a straight forward - SCM GIT Update, so I am thinking there is somewhere - not just with playbooks May 14, 2015 at 1:20
  • make sure to answer your own question when you figure it out- that way it'll help others in the future. sudo servicectl status may show a service that isn't running (though that may not help in Tower 2.x). May 14, 2015 at 1:22
