This is what I need, this looks very good, thank you @azrdev. I've tested it and your intergration works like charm.

Tested Versions:

• AWX 22.1.0
• SUSE Manager release [4.3.3]
• ansible-inventory [core 2.15.6]
• python version = 3.9.17

I just tested it successfully, too.

• AWX 23.7.0 with default EEs (ansible core 2.15.9)
• Uyuni 2024.02

demo project contains:

# requirements.yml
collections:
  - name: https://github.com/azrdev/ansible-collection-uyuni
    type: git
    version: feature-inventory-in-awx-aap

and

# suma.uyuni.yml
---
plugin: stdevel.uyuni.inventory
verify_ssl: false
show_custom_values: true

AWX has a custom credential type with the following config:

# inpug config
fields:
  - id: host
    type: string
    label: Hostname
  - id: username
    type: string
    label: Username
  - id: password
    type: string
    label: Password
    secret: true
required:
  - host
  - username
  - password

# injector config
env:
  UYUNI_HOST: '{{ host }}'
  UYUNI_USER: '{{ username }}'
  UYUNI_PASSWORD: '{{ password }}'

and an instance of that CCT attached to the inventory source

This is awesome, thanks a lot for supplying a fix and documenting/testing this so fast. 🎉 I just merged it and released the new version 0.2.0.
