+--------------------
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- fix: Ignore ansible_host: "" (#169)
+
+Enhancement: Ignoring  _rhc.ansible_host_ if set to an empty string.
+
+Reason: The empty string value causes:
+
+  - the Ansible host name to be reset in the Inventory by `insights-client --ansible_host=`;
+  - a line `ansible_host=` to be put in the config file.
+  
+  The former is a job of `{state: absent}`. An empty string should not cause such a desctructive operation. The latter is ignored by the Client and is equivatent to that line missing.
+  
+  Result:
+  Consistently with a similar condition of the display_name parameter, an empty string ansible_host is treated as undefined. It's the same behavior as with a null value.
