host_group_vars - In charge of loading group_vars and host_vars
New in version 2.4.
Synopsis
- Loads YAML vars into corresponding groups/hosts in group_vars/ and host_vars/ directories.
- Files are restricted by extension to one of .yaml, .json, .yml or no extension.
- Hidden (starting with ‘.’) and backup (ending with ‘~’) files and directories are ignored.
- Only applies to inventory sources that are existing paths.
Parameters

|---|---|---|---|
| _valid_extensions | Default: [u'.yml', u'.yaml', u'.json'] | ini entries: [yaml_valid_extensions ] env:ANSIBLE_YAML_FILENAME_EXT | Check all of these extensions when looking for 'variable' files which should be YAML or JSON or vaulted versions of these.
