usage: bosh-inventory [-h] [--list]

Program to create an ansible inventory from all the deployments, jobs and
instances managed by a BOSH Director.

optional arguments:
  -h, --help  show this help message and exit
  --list      Enable JSON output for dynamic ansible inventory

bosh-inventory reads BOSH_CONFIG environment variable pointing to the configuration
file used by Bosh client (defaults to '~/.bosh/config' or '~/.bosh_config') in
order to get the credentials from it. You can define additional inventory
parameters via BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PARAMS environment variable, for example:
BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PARAMS="ansible_user=vcap ansible_ssh_pass=blabla". Be aware
that maybe Python2 (required by ansible) is not present in the default location,
but you can use this variable to specify "ansible_python_interpreter=/path/to/python".
If you use Bosh cli v2, you also will need to define the variable
BOSH_ENVIRONMENT in order to targe the correct director.

The environment variable BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_VARS defines a list of
entries which can appear as inventory variables for each VM. The list of values
you can use is here: https://bosh.io/docs/director-api-v1.html#list-instances-detailed,
for example BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_VARS="state bootstrap" will add
"state=started bootstrap=false" to each inventory entry.

The environment variable BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_INSTANCES, defines the VM name
will have in the inventory. If it 'dns' it will build the inventory entry with
the dns names given by Bosh Director (if dns is enabled in Bosh, otherwise it
will fallback to autogenerated names and include the ip address for each
instance), if 'vm_cid' (default) it will be using the name of the VM as it is
in the IaaS. You can see all parameters supported in
https://bosh.io/docs/director-api-v1.html#list-instances-detailed.
To force always the inclusion of the IP in the inventory,  just define the
variable BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_IP as a positive integer indicating the index 
(starting from 1) of the IP which will be taken (for VMs with multiple IPs),
0 disabled the feature. The default value for BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_IP is 1.

BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_CALL defines the way the inventoy is populated. It can
be 'instances'(default) or 'vms'. Instances is faster because it does not query
the Bosh Agents, so it gets the desired state. 'vms' will query the Bosh Agents
in order to get the current state, so depending on the situation, it can take a
lot of time to get the result.

You can also limit the inventory to one specific deployment by setting the value
of the environment variable BOSH_ANSIBLE_DEPLOYMENT to the name of it.

0.3.0, 2017 Jose Riguera <jose.riguera@springer.com>To use it, just point the env variableBOSH_CONFIGto your
bosh configuration. It will read all parameters from there.By default, it will return an INI format inventory:$ export BOSH_CONFIG=~/.bosh_config
$ bosh-inventory > ansible-inventoryOr using directly with ansible:$ export BOSH_CONFIG=~/.bosh_config
$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_PARAMS="ansible_user=vcap"
$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_VARS="ansible_user=vcap"
$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_CALL="vms"
$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_INSTANCES="dns"
$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_INVENTORY_IP="1"
$ ansible "runner_z*" -i $(which bosh-inventory) -a "sudo /sbin/reboot"You can also point to one deployment by usingBOSH_ANSIBLE_DEPLOYMENT,
and only those instances will appear:$ export BOSH_ANSIBLE_DEPLOYMENT=concourse
$ bosh-inventory
