Hello list, is there a way how I can access host/group vars from within a callback plugin? Basically I want to modify the Hipchat callback plugin to use a room ID configured via group\_vars (or maybe _register_ed as a var right in the role tasks), as we have hundred of chat rooms and to which room a message will be sent would depend on the role. Thanks, Daniel ---
