* Add Nagios livestatus inventory plugin.
* Add new capabilities for the nagios_livestatus inventory:
- host_field: set the name returned (default: 'name')
- group_field: set the field used for group (default: 'groups')
- host_filter: filter host using this filter (default: None)
To be more consistent, prefix was renamed into var_prefix.
* Fix py34 runtests errors against print call.
With this proposed PR, we want to make the use of many ec2 dynamic inventory files more flexible.
We are using multiple AWS accounts. We want to use different ini file (one for every account) and only one ec2.py.
* Use with statement when doing rw on files
* Deserialize file-like object directly instead of a string
For python 2/3 compatibility reasons, per PR feedback.
* adding route53_hostnames option to set the hostnames from route 53
* checking whether the route53_hostnames option is present as suggested by @s-hertel
* setting route53_hostnames to None when config option not present
* skip the to_safe only when using route53_hostnames option, as suggested by @ryansb
* skipping the to_safe strip only for the hostnames that came from route53 as suggested by @ryansb
* Add dynamic inventory script and config for Packet.net
* The script and config have been shamelessly cargo
culted from the `ec2.py` and `ec2.ini` dynamic inventory
script.
* This is an initial version and could very well be
enhanced and made better.
Examples:
`PACKET_NET_API_KEY=<MY_AUTH_TOKEN> --list` to get inventory for
all hosts in Packet.net in all projects (defaults to `--list`
if no argument provided).
`PACKET_NET_API_KEY=<MY_AUTH_TOKEN> --host HOST` to get variables
for a single host.
* improvements in Packet host dynamic inventory
Ensure command line profile argument and AWS_PROFILE environment variable
overrides config file
Remove unnecessary `lambda` function
Fix cache file path construction to be more pythonic (and windows-ready)
use inkey attribute in _process_object_types recursive loop to generate key name in skip_keys directive.
This permit to ignore nested variables, for example summary.vm to optimize inventory collect
* vmware_inventory: permit to group by custom field
This permits to create instances, affect some custom fields like EC2 tags and then retrieve groups from custom fields like EC2 inventory
* vmware_inventory: Customize skip_keys & add resourceconfig to skip_keys
Verify if customfield is a str before processing custom fields for a host
* Fix many points reported by PyCharm as PEP 8 code style
* Improve inventory performance by dropping vim.HostSystem & vim.VirtualMachine collect when depth >= 2
* Declare some class variables properly
* Remove some unused variables
* Add documentation in vmware_inventory.ini for VMWARE_USERNAME & VMWARE_PASSWORD env vars
This forces basic auth to be used. Using the normal HTTPPasswordMgrWithDefaultRealm
password manager from urllib2 fails since collins doesn't send a 401 retry on failure.
More about this can be seen here http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2407126/python-urllib2-basic-auth-problem.
I added a small comment about the format of the host so others don't waste time like i did.
