ansible.builtin.script – Executes an inventory script that returns JSON¶
Note
This module is part of ansible-base
and included in all Ansible
installations. In most cases, you can use the short module name
script 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 2.4: of ansible.builtin
Synopsis¶
The source provided must be an executable that returns Ansible inventory JSON
The source must accept
--list
and--host <hostname>
as arguments.--host
will only be used if no_meta
key is present. This is a performance optimization as the script would be called per host otherwise.
