Ansible Dynamic Inventory for Red Hat Satellite 6

Introduction

This is a dynamic inventory script to drive Ansible from Red Hat Satellite 6. It's based on the Cobbler inventory script here It uses the same caching mechanism as that script so you might want to refer to that to understand it a little better.

Currently, hosts are grouped by hostgroups only. I will add functionality to group by host collection, lifecycle environment, location, organisation etc.

Usage

Copy satellite-inventory.py and hammer.ini to /etc/ansible and ensure that satellite-inventory.py is executable. Put your satellite credentials in the hammer.ini file.

You should then be able to run ansible against hostgroups e.g.:

ansible <my_hostgroup> -i /etc/ansible/satellite-inventory.py -m setup
