Hello everyone,

I am having difficulty using the Vultr Plugin with Ansible to accomplish a specific task.  
Goal: I have a Vultr account and I have many servers there (VPS) I want to apply a specific Firewall group to a specific set of my Vultr servers. I need to use the Vultr Ansible plugin to:

1. Get a list of all servers in my account
2. Filter that list based on my Ansible HOST file list, or another list that I specify.
3. Apply a specific Vultr firewall group ID to that filtered list. I am having a complete brain block and cannot seem to figure it out.

I assume others have done something similar. Could anyone help me to get a working playbook for this? I cannot figure it out from the documentation.

Thanks in advance, I appreciate it!
