I have a large number of out of band hardware (IBM IMM, routers owned by other groups, Dracs (which will be ansibled soon), and similar odd things) which I need to keep track of for various other software like nagios and maybe DNS configs. Since I keep all the other hosts in the ansible inventory files I thought that I could use that, but I realized that this causes problems when master playbooks and such are run which cause items in the inventory to be 'hit'. I wondered if there was some sort of ansible_connect=none flag but realized that is probably not what the inventory file is meant for (even if it would have been convenient to me).
The other is to create a variable which lists all of these hosts and then just update that when needed versus 3-4 other places. However I wanted to see if people had a method that I was missing after going through the first 2 pages of google search. How do people keep track of hardware that they may need for configurations that may not be ansibled itself? -- Stephen J Smoogen. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ansible Project" group.
