SSH Config being ignored

[satellite-no]

SUMMARY

using the core.remote module the /home/stanley/.ssh/config is being ignored. Not sure if I missed something.

STACKSTORM VERSION

[root@stackstorm centos]# st2 --version
st2 3.6.0, on Python 3.6.8

OS, environment, install method

New install, a beginner using shell script to get it up and running.

Steps to reproduce the problem

Configured /etc/st2/st2.conf with the below per "ssh troubleshooting" guide.

[system_user]
user = stanley
ssh_key_file = /home/stanley/.ssh/stanley_rsa

...

[ssh_runner]
remote_dir = /tmp
use_ssh_config = True
ssh_config_file_path = ~/.ssh/config

Expected Results

Remote cli execution success

Actual Results

It parses the config but then appears to ignore it.

Output from debug /var/log/st2/st2actionrunner.236327.log

Try to use the full path for ssh_config_file_path instead of ~

ssh_config_file_path = /home/stanley/.ssh/config

[satellite-no]

That partially worked.. It appears to work except for the hostname. Meaning it works as long as I have salt in the hosts file otherwise it still says "no address found".

Host *
    User centos
    CertificateFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa-cert.pub
    IdentityFile ~/.ssh/id_rsa

Host salt
    HostName 172.16.0.146

@paky92, I have attempted reloading configs, restarting as documented using sudo service st2actionrunner restart, and restarting with st2ctl restart.
