Hi,

Currently i’m using static inventory in ansible and have folder structure like Inventories/inv1, Inventories/inv2, etc…

Inventories/inv1

[atlanta]
xyz.com

[europe]
abc.com

I need to have group variables for production in a way like Inventories/group_vars/production which is specific to Prod.

#Inventories/group_vars/production

# Inventories/inv1
[atlanta]
xyz.com

[europe]
abc.com

I need to have group variables for production in a way like
Inventories/group_vars/production which is specific to Prod.

#Inventories/group_vars/production
---

url: 'jnp://mqendpoint.company.com:1099'
env: 'Production'

How can I glue these two files into a third inventory file
Inventories/production.

What I tried is
#Inventories/production
[production:children]
atlanta
europe

I am getting error as child group is not defined:atlanta, europe

​Because eacht ini file is parsed as if it was a unique inventory.

Just add

​Now you are pointing your inventory to the production file which only
holds an empty group 'smtp'​.

Can you help me how to refer the group inside Inventories/Inventory1 ?
