Inventory

The inventory used for the environment is located in the inventory directory.

How an inventory works is described in detail in the Ansible documentation. In this chapter, we only deal with special features in the context of OSISM.

Manager

The manager has his own inventory which is used exclusively for the seed phase of the manager. It is located in the directory environments/manager. There is a hosts file with only the manager node in it.

Host Vars

Group Vars

Define variable for all nodes

The Ansible group all is specifically used internally by OSISM, is reserved and is not supported for additional variables. When variables are added in the configuration repository for the all group, they are ignored. In OSISM the group generic can be used to store variables for all nodes.
