Hi Team,
I am using Ascender 25.4.0 and was trying to generate a Dynamic inventory for my Nutanix environment.
I have compile a custom EE with the Nutanix collection on it and created a custom credential type to accomodate the input of the host, username, password variables.
Once I try to sync the inventory source I am getting the following output in the job as it failed:

Any clues whats happening on this execution job?
