Hello, I'm feeding Ansible 2.0.0.2 dynamic inventory from an enterprise CMDB system.
I've worked through two issues already: - inject empty _meta hostvars to be able to read in large JSON objects without killing RAM & CPU (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/Ansible-project/tsalolikhin/ansible-project/AB997vCLtCY/MT3CxG-fCAAJ) - filter CMDB output to remove records that don't have IP addresses as it makes Ansible throw Python errors I think the last issue is allow the users to authenticate into the CMDB system... I am trying to set it up so that the user would type their password into STDIN for the dynamic inventory script... what's strange is that I can enter TWO lines and the first one isn't passed to the script... what's going on here? $ cat test.sh #!/bin/sh read -s cmdb_password # pretend to download data from CMDB cat /tmp/test.json # and let's see what was entered echo $cmdb_password > /tmp/test.out $ ( echo one; echo two) | ansible -i ./test.sh all --list-hosts hosts (1): 10.10.10.10 $ cat /tmp/test.out two $ Question: What happened to "one" ? I was hoping to use a wrapper that would prompt the user for their CMDB password and then start Ansible so that when they type in their password it would go to the dynamic inventory script.
