List of ansible inventory behaviour parameters.
ansible_ssh_host
The name of the host to connect to, if different from the alias you wish to give to it.
ansible_ssh_port
The ssh port number, if not 22
ansible_ssh_user
The default ssh user name to use.
ansible_ssh_pass
The ssh password to use (this is insecure, we strongly recommend using --ask-pass or SSH keys)
ansible_sudo_pass
The sudo password to use (this is insecure, we strongly recommend using --ask-sudo-pass)
ansible_connection
Connection type of the host. Candidates are local, ssh or paramiko. The default is paramiko before Ansible 1.2, and 'smart' afterwards which detects whether usage of 'ssh' would be feasible based on whether ControlPersist is supported.
ansible_ssh_private_key_file
Private key file used by ssh. Useful if using multiple keys and you don't want to use SSH agent.
ansible_shell_type
The shell type of the target system. By default commands are formatted using 'sh'-style syntax by default. Setting this to 'csh' or 'fish' will cause commands executed on target systems to follow those shell's syntax instead.
ansible_python_interpreter
The target host python path. This is useful for systems with more
than one Python or not located at "/usr/bin/python" such as \*BSD, or where /usr/bin/python
is not a 2.X series Python. We do not use the "/usr/bin/env" mechanism as that requires the remote user's
path to be set right and also assumes the "python" executable is named python, where the executable might
be named something like "python26".
ansible\_\*\_interpreter
Works for anything such as ruby or perl and works just like ansible_python_interpreter.
This replaces shebang of modules which will run on that host.
