Synopsis

Get inventory hosts from Vultr public cloud.
Uses an YAML configuration file ending with either vultr.yml or vultr.yaml to set parameter values (also see examples).
Uses api_config, ~/.vultr.ini, ./vultr.ini or VULTR_API_CONFIG pointing to a Vultr credentials INI file (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/guide_vultr.html).

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Configuration	Comments
api_account string	Default: "default"		Specify the account to be used.
api_config path		env:VULTR_API_CONFIG	Path to the vultr configuration file. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration.
api_key string		env:VULTR_API_KEY	Vultr API key. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration.
compose dictionary	Default: {}		Create vars from jinja2 expressions.
filter_by_tag string			Only return servers filtered by this tag
groups dictionary	Default: {}		Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals.
hostname string	Choices: v4_main_ip ← v6_main_ip name		Field to match the hostname. Note v4_main_ip corresponds to the main_ip field returned from the API and name to label.
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.
plugin string / required	Choices: vultr		Token that ensures this is a source file for the 'vultr' plugin.
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.
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).
