compose
dictionary
Default:
{}
Create vars from jinja2 expressions.
filters
string
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.
groups
dictionary
Default:
{}
Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals.
iam_role_arn
string
The ARN of the IAM role to assume to perform the inventory lookup. You should still provide AWS credentials with enough privilege to perform the AssumeRole action.
include_clusters
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether or not to query for Aurora clusters as well as instances
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
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
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.
regions
string
Default:
[]
A list of regions in which to describe RDS instances and clusters. Available regions are listed here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/UserGuide/Concepts.RegionsAndAvailabilityZones.html
statuses
list / elements=string
Default:
["creating", "available"]
A list of desired states for instances/clusters to be added to inventory. Set to ['all'] as a shorthand to find everything.
strict
boolean
    Choices:
  • 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
    Choices:
  • 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.
use_extra_vars
boolean
added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
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).
