auto – Loads and executes an inventory plugin specified in a YAML config

Synopsis

  • By whitelisting auto as the final 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.
  • To disable this behavior, remove auto from the INVENTORY_ENABLED config element.

Examples

# This plugin is not intended for direct use; it is a fallback mechanism for automatic whitelisting of
# all installed inventory plugins.
