Cobbler external inventory script
=================================
Ansible has a feature where instead of reading from /etc/ansible/hosts
as a text file, it can query external programs to obtain the list
2012-08-07 02:02:02 +02:00
of hosts, groups the hosts are in, and even variables to assign to each host.
To use this, copy this file over /etc/ansible/hosts and chmod +x the file.
This, more or less, allows you to keep one central database containing
info about all of your managed instances.
This script is an example of sourcing that data from Cobbler
2012-08-07 02:02:02 +02:00
(http://cobbler.github.com). With cobbler each --mgmt-class in cobbler
will correspond to a group in Ansible, and --ks-meta variables will be
passed down for use in templates or even in argument lines.
NOTE: The cobbler system names will not be used. Make sure a
cobbler --dns-name is set for each cobbler system. If a system
appears with two DNS names we do not add it twice because we don't want
ansible talking to it twice. The first one found will be used. If no
--dns-name is set the system will NOT be visible to ansible. We do
not add cobbler system names because there is no requirement in cobbler
2012-08-07 02:02:02 +02:00
that those correspond to addresses.
See http://ansible.github.com/api.html for more info
2012-08-07 02:02:02 +02:00
Tested with Cobbler 2.0.11.
