Rundeck ec2 plugin gotchas

Nodes with same name show up as a single host

I have nodes that are named identically since they are in an auto scaling group, and rundeck only pulled one of them.
Use

nodename.selector=tags/Name+' ('+privateIpAddress+')';

to the Mapping Params, this will list nodes all nodes

Commands are executed on the local server and not the remote host

add

hostname.selector=privateIpAddress

to the  Mapping Params, since all my nodes are inside a vpc and do not have dns addresses

Rundeck ssh login issue

In my case, I have a dedicated user for rundeck, and the default is ec2-user, I needed to add

username.default=rundeck;

to the Mapping Params
