peeps,
I wrote a vars plugin: https://guy.matz.org/2020/10/26/a-vars-plugin-for-ansible/

any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Guy

You might want to add a 'stage' setting to optimize when they get
called, since the data won't change per task in your case, it seems
you would want to pin it to 'inventory' by default.

Brian! You’ve changed your avatar . . . Thanks so much for the links! I will check them out. Do you know of a link that can tell me how to log from a vars plugin with -v, -vv, -vvv?

Thanks again!!!
