validate_certs: False
config_context: True
token: 678bcbfccbbcb6a59069438vv9b5d0f9e4a3081a
group_by:
- device_roles
query_filters:
- tag: ansible
compose:
ansible_network_os: platform.slug
More details about NetBox inventory source
- In AWX 'Inventory Scripts' create new script which will generate JSON output:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
ansible-inventory -v --list -i /opt/scripts/netbox_inventory.yml
ansible-inventory -v --list -i /opt/scripts/netbox_inventory.ymlUsing /etc/ansible/ansible.cfg as config file
