Vars Plugins
Vars plugins inject additional variable data into Ansible runs that did not come from an inventory source, playbook, or command line. Playbook constructs like 'host_vars' and 'group_vars' work using vars plugins.
Vars plugins were partially implemented in Ansible 2.0 and rewritten to be fully implemented starting with Ansible 2.4.
The host_group_vars <host_group_vars_vars> plugin
shipped with Ansible enables reading variables from host_variables and group_variables.
Enabling vars plugins
You can activate a custom vars plugin by either dropping it into a
vars_plugins directory adjacent to your play, inside a
role, or by putting it in one of the directory sources configured in
ansible.cfg <ansible_configuration_settings>.
Using vars plugins
Vars plugins are used automatically after they are enabled.
Plugin Lists
You can use ansible-doc -t vars -l to see the list of
available plugins. Use
ansible-doc -t vars <plugin name> to see specific
plugin-specific documentation and examples.
