Ansible Tower Generated Json Output unable to generate report. I tried to generate report by genrate all facts gathered via ansible tower and placed

• name: Fact dump
  hosts: all
  vars:
  ansible_python_interpreter: "/usr/bin/python"
  tasks:
  • name: Discover Facts
    copy:
    content: "{{ ansible_facts }}"
    dest: "{{ ansible_fqdn }}"

Tried generate Report as below

ansible-cmdb af/ > new-overview.html

Reports are not generated as expected. Any workaround for this ?

Hello,
I have the same issue. It's probably related to the fact, that the ansible-cmdb expects the variables with names like ansible_distribution...
I (as a really bad python programmerr) also used the facts file from either the setup-module or an ansible plabyook where the ansible -m setup produces vars like above and the playbook / setup doesn't.
Here is my (most likely not nice) python code:
with open(myfile, encoding="utf-8") as json_file:
my_basename = os.path.basename(myfile)
counter[my_tab_name] += 1
data = json.load(json_file)
# if facts where gethered by ansible -m setup. then all
# facts will be prefixed
# by ansible_ and the dict starts with ansible_facts
if data.get('ansible_facts'):
facts = data.get('ansible_facts')
prefix = 'ansible_'
else:
facts = data
prefix = ''
Perhaps we can encourage one of the developers, to includes someting like this in the code
