lookup plugins directory in Ansible

Question

I have installed Ansible and been working on it for a few days now. I'm trying to use the lookup_plugins but I can't find the file. Where can I find it?

Answer 1

Hey @Ruth, check one of these places:

• check around your playbook file
• inside any role that is applied in the playbook
• configured lookup plugins directories

default location: ~/.ansible/plugins/lookup:/usr/share/ansible/plugins/lookup

can be overwritten with lookup_plugins configuration option or

with ANSIBLE_LOOKUP_PLUGINS environment variable

• ansible/plugins/lookup directory inside current ansible python package
