Synopsis

Get inventory hosts from Vultr public cloud.
Uses an YAML configuration file ending with either vultr.yml or vultr.yaml to set parameter values (also see examples).
Uses api_config, ~/.vultr.ini, ./vultr.ini or VULTR_API_CONFIG pointing to a Vultr credentials INI file (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/guide_vultr.html).

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Configuration	Comments
api_account string	Default: "default"		Specify the account to be used.
api_config path		env:VULTR_API_CONFIG	Path to the vultr configuration file. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration.
api_key string		env:VULTR_API_KEY	Vultr API key. If not specified will be taken from regular Vultr configuration.
compose dictionary added in 2.8	Default: {}		Create vars from jinja2 expressions.
filter_by_tag string added in 2.8			Only return servers filtered by this tag
groups dictionary added in 2.8	Default: {}		Add hosts to group based on Jinja2 conditionals.
hostname string	Choices: v4_main_ip ← v6_main_ip name		Field to match the hostname. Note v4_main_ip corresponds to the main_ip field returned from the API and name to label.
keyed_groups list added in 2.8	Default: []		Add hosts to group based on the values of a variable.
plugin string / required	Choices: vultr		Token that ensures this is a source file for the 'vultr' plugin.
strict boolean added in 2.8	Choices: no ← yes		If `yes` make invalid entries a fatal error, otherwise skip and continue. Since it is possible to use facts in the expressions they might not always be available and we ignore those errors by default.

Hint

Configuration entries for each entry type have a low to high priority order. For example, a variable that is lower in the list will override a variable that is higher up.
