core.remote ignoring .ssh/config

[satellite-no]

Hi All,

Using the core.remote module the /home/stanley/.ssh/config is being ignored. I'm a new user so figured I'm missing something but not sure what since it appears it works then is just ignored.

STACKSTORM VERSION

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

OS, environment, install method

New install on cento8 stream, 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 and restarted.

[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. Final output is [Errno -2] No address found which makes since salt isn't a valid DNS name only exists in .ssh/config.

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

Hi, please try restarting st2 services. So, after changing your [ssh_runner] in /etc/st2/st2.conf, try executing "st2ctl restart"
