New Behavior
The
nb_inventory
inventory plugin'squery_filters
,device_query_filters
, andquery_filters
options allow Jinja2 templates.Contrast to Current Behavior
An example of option
query_filters
. Jinja2 Templates like the following are not available previously.This PR allows Jinja2 template and extra vars.
Discussion: Benefits and Drawbacks
We can filter dynamically by specifying filter with extra vars. This can be expected to improve performance compared to retrieving the entire inventory and executing the playbook by specifying the group.
It is backwards-compatible. Strings that do not use Jinja2 templates are interpreted as normal strings.
