ansible.builtin.auto – Loads and executes an inventory plugin specified in a YAML config¶
Note
This module is part of ansible-base
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short module name
auto even without specifying the collections:
keyword.
Despite that, we recommend you use the FQCN for easy linking to the module
documentation and to avoid conflicting with other collections that may have
the same module name.
New in version 2.5: of ansible.builtin
Synopsis¶
By whitelisting
auto
inventory plugin, any YAML inventory config file with aplugin
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.To disable this behavior, remove
auto
from theINVENTORY_ENABLED
config element.
