I keep my inventory files for each environment in GIT repositories. I am working on some sort of a helper service which i am writing in Ansible and this should perform some (housekeeping) tasks on the specified servers, which i wish to specify using existing inventory files. I want to make the GIT repo as a parameter for this script and then the script will have its target inventory file. I am not sure how to proceed from here.
How can i load this inventory file within a task ? After loading, i can either invoke next play or refresh the inventory with meta. Using add_host doesn't seem to be an option as there are elaborate inventory configurations which i want to reuse as it is rather than writing more logic to load it.I don't see any lookup/parser either. The only option remains for me is to keep the second phase logic in different playbook and after fetching the inventory just shoot a shell command executing this playbook with the inventory, but this method won't give me the logs like a regular playbook execution. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
