auto – Loads and executes an inventory plugin specified in a YAML config¶
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.
Examples¶
# This plugin is not intended for direct use; it is a fallback mechanism for automatic whitelisting of
# all installed inventory plugins.
Status¶

Hint
Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
