Note
This inventory plugin is part of ansible-core
and included in all Ansible installations. In most cases, you can use the short plugin name auto
even without specifying the collections:
keyword. However, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the plugin documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have the same inventory plugin name.
New in version 2.5: of ansible.builtin
auto
inventory plugin, any YAML inventory config file with a plugin
key at its root will automatically cause the named plugin to be loaded and executed with that config. This effectively provides automatic whitelisting of all installed/accessible inventory plugins.auto
from the INVENTORY_ENABLED
config element.# This plugin is not intended for direct use; it is a fallback mechanism for automatic whitelisting of # all installed inventory plugins.
