Bug Summary

Hello everyone!
I have a problem with the execution of job.
I have 239 hosts, some of them have OS Redhat version 7. On mashines with Redhat i need to run the command _ yum install ca-certificates_
After starting the job, I have a task Gathering Facts and it is infinite. It doesn't drop with errors, deosn't terminate on it's own, just an endless run of fact-gathering.

AWX version

AWX 21.11.0

Hello Evgeniy,
have you tried setting a timeout for job execution aka task_timeout? There might be a potential bug in ansible core that causes fact gathering to become endless, even when the gather_timeout is set.

Hello Roman!
Yes, I tried to put settings for job execution timeouts. It also runs infinitely, but crashes on timeout.
I also found some sort of fix for this. If you select forks 1, you can find the host that gather_facts hangs on, it will be next in the list of hosts, after the successful host.
I realize this is not a solution to the problem, but it's at least something
