I am trying to come up with a host filter query in awx that is able to filter for a value in a key contained in the variables field of my inventory.
My variable field looks something like this:
{
"variables": "{..., \"labels\": {\"automation\": \"awx\"}, ...}"
}
My current host filter like this:
https://my-awx.com/api/v2/hosts/?host_filter=variables__icontains=automation
Using the filter above, I at least am able to receive the corresponding instance, however I'd like to be able to filter for more than automation. Ultimately I'd like to receive all instances whose automation label has the key awx and integrate them into a smart inventory.
One additional question: Is there better documentation available then https://docs.ansible.com/ansible-tower/latest/html/towerapi/filtering.html? I feel like it is missing such details as contained in my question.
Best regards, stiller-leser
According to this issue: https://github.com/ansible/awx/issues/371 it doesn't look like it's supported yet.
One suggested workaround:
You can build your inventory, using a dynamic script or otherwise, and then create a playbook that caches the desired host variables as ansible facts.
