Hi one and all,

Can custom credential injectors create YAML files?

I’m trying to get an inventory script working ([https://github.com/mattkeeler/ansible-nutanix-inventory](https://github.com/mattkeeler/ansible-nutanix-inventory)) in AWX and it requires a YAML config file. I see that credential injectors can create a file, but the docs are very sparse around this.

Thanks,

Stephen…

Hey Stephen,

You can write whatever file content you like, though there aren’t any helpers for serializing YAML - you’ll have to actually write the YAML content yourself, e.g.,

{  
“file”: {  
“template”: “clusters:\n {{ cluster }}:\n address: {{ address }}\n port: {{ port }}\n username: {{ username }}\n password: {{ password }}”  
},  
“env”: {  
“NUTANIX\_YML\_PATH”: “{{ tower.filename }}”  
}  
}

etc…
