FAQ – Nautobot Ansible Automation App¶
Why don't password fields from my AWX survey appear in the Nautobot form?¶
At present, Nautobot lacks a dedicated 'secret' JobVar.
Displaying a plain-text input would:
- Expose credentials in the UI, and
- Transmit them back to AWX over the Nautobot job runner, leaving them in logs/history.
Therefore password questions are intentionally skipped during form generation.
Where do my dynamically generated jobs live?¶
Open Jobs → Jobs; each AWX Job Template is listed with the exact name (camel-cased). They behave like any other Nautobot Job and support scheduling, permissions, and Job History.
