Hello,
I am developing some custom Ansible modules used for configuring network TAPs and they basically rely on a HTTP connection. Therefore, I have designed a httapi plugin module and I want to get the group_vars information associated to the current host directly from my custom module_utils file. In other words, just before I send HTTP requests to my equipment I need to read the group_vars for that particular IP address in order to set the user/password/timeout and other variables to the request.
So far I have achieved this task using “ansible-invetory --list” but this does not consider scenarios like using a specific inventory file other than /etc/ansible/hosts or defining vars directly inside the playbook.
Is there another way to access the group vars from my module_utils/network custom implementation or from plugins/httpapi?
Regards,
Alex
