Access Inventory file - Ansible

0 votes

I have my inventory file 

[my_hosts]
my_host ansible_ssh_host=123.123.125.126
my_host2 ansible_ssh_host=234.234.234.237

How do I access the alias variable in a playbook/template?

You can just use {{ ansible_ssh_host }}

Inventory:

[my_hosts]
my_host ansible_ssh_host=127.0.0.1 my_host_alias=my_host

Playbook:

---
- name: Example
  user: ubuntu
  hosts: all

  tasks:
    - name: whatever
      debug: msg="Myhost is {{ ansible_ssh_host }}"

    - name: whatever
      debug: msg="My host alias is {{ my_host_alias }}"
