[root#ohnetwork01 playbooks]# ansible-playbook -vvvvvv -u user.user -k version_playbook.yaml
Using /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
SSH password:

and here's the host file and playbook I'm using, insanely simple as I was just trying to test
#### Host entry ####
[ProdCoreSwitches]
P-9396PXa.domain.local ansible_host=192.168.1.33
P-9396PXb.domain.local ansible_host=192.168.1.34
#### Playbook ####
---
- name: Get version
connection: local
hosts: ProdCoreSwitches
tasks:
- nxos_facts:
host= "{{ inventory_hostname }}"
Anything I should be changing?
Edit: After changing the connection from local I get the following:

Answer 1

Can you show the content of task "nxos_facts"? Also where did you define "{{ inventory_hostname }}" and what's the value(s)?
