-

Default:

{}

A dictionary of filter value pairs. Available filters are listed here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cli/latest/reference/rds/describe-db-instances.html#options. If you filter by db-cluster-id and include_clusters is True it will apply to clusters as well.

strict

boolean

  • no

  • yes

If yes make invalid entries a fatal error, otherwise skip and continue.

Since it is possible to use facts in the expressions they might not always be available and we ignore those errors by default.

strict_permissions

boolean

  • no
  • yes

By default if an AccessDenied exception is encountered this plugin will fail. You can set strict_permissions to False in the inventory config file which will allow the restrictions to be gracefully skipped.

Hint

If you notice any issues in this documentation, you can edit this document to improve it.


Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
