Parameters
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Configuration | Comments |
---|---|---|---|
api_account string |
Default: "default" |
Specify the account to be used. | |
api_config path |
env:VULTR_API_CONFIG |
Path to the vultr configuration file. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration. | |
api_key string |
env:VULTR_API_KEY |
Vultr API key. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration. | |
compose dictionary |
Default: {} |
Create vars from jinja2 expressions. | |
filter_by_tag string |
Only return servers filtered by this tag | ||
groups dictionary |
Default: {} |
Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals. | |
hostname string |
|
Field to match the hostname. Note v4_main_ip corresponds to the main_ip field returned from the API and name to label. | |
keyed_groups list / elements=string |
Default: [] |
Add hosts to group based on the values of a variable. | |
leading_separator boolean added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin |
|
Use in conjunction with keyed_groups. By default, a keyed group that does not have a prefix or a separator provided will have a name that starts with an underscore. This is because the default prefix is "" and the default separator is "_". Set this option to False to omit the leading underscore (or other separator) if no prefix is given. If the group name is derived from a mapping the separator is still used to concatenate the items. To not use a separator in the group name at all, set the separator for the keyed group to an empty string instead. | |
plugin string / required |
|
Token that ensures this is a source file for the 'vultr' plugin. | |
strict boolean |
|
If Since it is possible to use facts in the expressions they might not always be available and we ignore those errors by default. | |
use_extra_vars boolean added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin |
|
ini entries: [inventory_plugins]use_extra_vars = no
env:ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_USE_EXTRA_VARS |
Merge extra vars into the available variables for composition (highest precedence). |
