Hi Tomasz,
Thank you for your reply. Doesn't the hostvars imply that I have the
variables saved in a seperate file, named after the host? Or can they all
be in one file under host_vars? The file I have currently with all the
variables (well over 100 and growing) lives under group_vars and I include
it in my playbook with 'vars_files:'.
Kind regards,
Eric
