Ansible inventory script for Abiquo platforms

External inventory script for Abiquo

Shamelessly copied from an existing inventory script.

This script generates an inventory that Ansible can understand by making API requests to Abiquo API. It does require some python libraries, ensure to have them installed when using this script. You can install all the dependencies by running:

pip install -r requirements.txt

This script has been tested in Abiquo 4.2 but it may also work with different Abiquo versions.

Before using this script you may want to modify abiquo.ini config file.

Configuration

The script can be configured with an abiquo_inventory.ini file or using environment variables. Check the supplied abiquo_inventory.ini file for more information.

$ ./abiquo_inventory.py --help
