Josh Preston 2a2d866c0d add cloudforms inventory script (#17037)
* add cloudforms inventory script

based on the foreman inventory script, features:

* cached results (default 600 seconds)
* paginated host results (default 100 hosts)
* ssl verification (default True)
* arguments to flush cache and run in debug mode

* suggested rework

* removed second cache / dict with duplicate info
* added purge_actions configuration option to remove the actions from a host (defaults to False)
* added prefer_ip_address configuration option so give the option of using ip address instead of name (defaults to True)
* removed self variables — just use the arguments directly
* added --pretty command line option to pretty print results
* renamed _resolve_params to _resolve_host

* implement suggestions

* removed not used import
* added warnings to help debug connection issues
* renamed self.cache to self.hosts for clarity
* now will use the first ip address as ansible_ssh_host
* flipped default for prefer_ip_address config option to false - preserve name, and specify ansible_ssh_host as ip address
* added checks and warnings to configuration options, sane defaults for all except required:
** `url` - the first part of the cloudforms server url (https://cfme.example.com)
** `username`  - the cloudforms username to log in with
** `password` - the password for the cloudforms user specified
* removed redundant call to fetch host information (since we’re paging results, no need to split the calls)
* added warning for unexpected responses from CloudForms
* debug for returned sting now prints the string instead of forcing to JSON
* removed no longer needed methods to fetch host information
* using ‘key in list’ instead of ‘list.has_key(key)’
* correctly formatted groups and allowed nested groups
* now create groups for `location`, `type` and `vendor`, with appropriate sub-groups and children
* made to_safe honor config option to clean group names for ansible consumption

* remove prefer_ip_address configuration option

no longer needed since we will specify `ansible_ssh_host` as the returned ip address.

* removed dns_name

no longer needed, will preserve `host[name]` as name in Ansible.

* purge actions from hostvars

changed purge_actions to True

* flake8 suggestion for whitespace

* fix undefined r variable in warning output

use the correct ret variable

* Default purge_actions to True

We probably don’t need them, but it is configurable, so just default to remove them.

* Add configuration option to nest cloudforms tags

disabled by default, the nest_tags option will expand cloudforms tags into a nested group/subgroup structure.  Otherwise, it will use the whole tag name.

* added purging the actions

removed in previous clean up in error.

* fixed undefined variable

specified the correct variable for logging.

inventory

Inventory scripts allow you to store your hosts, groups, and variables in any way you like. Examples include discovering inventory from EC2 or pulling it from Cobbler. These could also be used to interface with LDAP or database.

chmod +x an inventory plugin and either name it /etc/ansible/hosts or use ansible with -i to designate the path to the script. You might also need to copy a configuration file with the same name and/or set environment variables, the scripts or configuration files have more details.
