Hello,

I found these config parameters from docs/patterns.html.

- ansible\_ssh\_host  
- ansible\_ssh\_port  
- ansible\_ssh\_user  
- ansible\_connection  
- ansible\_python\_interpreter

But from the source code, I found at least these.

- ansible\_ssh\_private\_key\_file  
- ansible\_ssh\_pass

More config parameters can be used might be.

These parameters are very important to setting hosts.  
So, could you please write down clearly all parameters to the  
inventory document?  
(may be table or itemized)

Thank you,  
WAKAYAMA Shirou

Sure, you can even submit a change to the documentation yourself (via a github pull request) if you want.

See docsite/latest/rst/patterns.rst in the checkout!
