"""
Cobbler 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.

To use this, copy this file over /etc/ansible/hosts and chmod +x the file.
This, more or less, allows you to keep one central database containing
info about all of your managed instances.

This script is an example of sourcing that data from Cobbler
(https://cobbler.github.io).  With cobbler each --mgmt-class in cobbler
will correspond to a group in Ansible, and --ks-meta variables will be
passed down for use in templates or even in argument lines.

NOTE: The cobbler system names will not be used.  Make sure a
cobbler --dns-name is set for each cobbler system.   If a system
appears with two DNS names we do not add it twice because we don't want
ansible talking to it twice.  The first one found will be used. If no
--dns-name is set the system will NOT be visible to ansible.  We do
not add cobbler system names because there is no requirement in cobbler
that those correspond to addresses.

Tested with Cobbler 2.0.11.

Changelog:
    - 2015-06-21 dmccue: Modified to support run-once _meta retrieval, results in
         higher performance at ansible startup.  Groups are determined by owner rather than
         default mgmt_classes.  DNS name determined from hostname. cobbler values are written
         to a 'cobbler' fact namespace

    - 2013-09-01 pgehres: Refactored implementation to make use of caching and to
        limit the number of connections to external cobbler server for performance.
        Added use of cobbler.ini file to configure settings. Tested with Cobbler 2.4.0
