SUMMARY

As a network engineer, I need to be able to have the complete list of extensible attributes in my inventory and not a truncated list

The inventory produced by the infoblox inventory script is incomplete. Indeed, we should have the list of complete extensible attributes for each record, a minor bug overwrites the extensible attributes dictionary, the result is in the extensible attributes dictionary with only one entry.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

python infoblox.py --list

---
# This file provides the configuration information for the Infoblox dynamic
# inventory script that is used to dynamically pull host information from NIOS.
# This file should be copied to /etc/ansible/infoblox.yaml in order for the
# dynamic script to find it.

# Sets the provider arguments for authenticating to the Infoblox server to
# retrieve inventory hosts.  Provider arguments can also be set using
# environment variables.  Supported environment variables all start with
# INFOBLOX_{{ name }}.  For instance, to set the host provider value, the
# environment variable would be INFOBLOX_HOST.
provider:
  host: <SERVER_IP>
  username: <USERNAME>
  password: <PASSWORD>

# Filters allow the dynamic inventory script to restrict the set of hosts that
# are returned from the Infoblox server.
filters:
  # restrict returned hosts by extensible attributes
  extattrs: {'IN_DeviceType': 'ACCESS', 'IN_Service': 'CAMPUS', 'IN_Country': FR', 'IN_Owner': 'LAN'}, 

  # restrict returned hosts to a specified DNS view
  view: default

EXPECTED RESULTS

"XXXX.XXXXX.com": {

                "extattrs": {

                    "IN_Vendor": "XXX",

                    "IN_Country": "XXX",

                    "IN_Service": "XXX",

                    "IN_Site": "XXX",

                    "IN_DeviceType": "XXX",

                    "IN_Owner": "XXX"

                },

                "view": "default"

ACTUAL RESULTS

 "XXXX.XXXXX.com": {
        "extattrs": {
            "IN_Owner": "XXX"
        }, 
        "view": "default"
    },
