|

|

It is ok if these files do not exist, as this is an optional feature.
|
||||
|
||||
As an advanced use-case, you can create *directories* named after your groups or hosts, and
|
||||
Ansible will read all the files in these directories. An example with the 'raleigh' group::
|
||||
|
||||
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh/db_settings
|
||||
/etc/ansible/group_vars/raleigh/cluster_settings
|
||||
|
||||
All hosts that are in the 'raleigh' group will have the variables defined in these files
|
||||
available to them. This can be very useful to keep your variables organized when a single
|
||||
file starts to be too big, or when you want to use :doc:`Ansible Vault<playbooks_vault>` on a part of a group's
|
||||
variables. Note that this only works on Ansible 1.4 or later.
|
||||
|
||||
Tip: In Ansible 1.2 or later the group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories can exist in either
|
||||
the playbook directory OR the inventory directory. If both paths exist, variables in the playbook
|
||||
directory will be loaded second.
