Collins external inventory script
=================================
Ansible has a feature where instead of reading from /etc/ansible/hosts
as a text file, it can query external programs to obtain the list
of hosts, groups the hosts are in, and even variables to assign to each host.
Collins is a hardware asset management system originally developed by
Tumblr for tracking new hardware as it built out its own datacenters. It
exposes a rich API for manipulating and querying one's hardware inventory,
which makes it an ideal 'single point of truth' for driving systems
automation like Ansible. Extensive documentation on Collins, including a quickstart,
API docs, and a full reference manual, can be found here:
http://tumblr.github.io/collins
This script adds support to Ansible for obtaining a dynamic inventory of
assets in your infrastructure, grouping them in Ansible by their useful attributes,
and binding all facts provided by Collins to each host so that they can be used to
drive automation. Some parts of this script were cribbed shamelessly from mdehaan's
Cobbler inventory script.
To use it, copy it to your repo and pass -i <collins script> to the ansible or
ansible-playbook command; if you'd like to use it by default, simply copy collins.ini
to /etc/ansible and this script to /etc/ansible/hosts.
Alongside the options set in collins.ini, there are several environment variables
that will be used instead of the configured values if they are set:
- COLLINS_USERNAME - specifies a username to use for Collins authentication
- COLLINS_PASSWORD - specifies a password to use for Collins authentication
- COLLINS_ASSET_TYPE - specifies a Collins asset type to use during querying;
this can be used to run Ansible automation against different asset classes than
server nodes, such as network switches and PDUs
- COLLINS_CONFIG - specifies an alternative location for collins.ini, defaults to
<location of collins.py>/collins.ini
If errors are encountered during operation, this script will return an exit code of
255; otherwise, it will return an exit code of 0.
Tested against Ansible 1.6.6 and Collins 1.2.4.
