Pigsty CMDB

Instead of a static config file, you can use as an inventory for Pigsty.

Using CMDB as a dynamic Inventory for Ansible has several advantages: metadata is presented as data tables in a highly structured way, and database constraints ensure consistency. The CMDB also allows you to use third-party tools to manage Pigsty metadata.

The Pigsty CMDBmode is automatically created during the initialization of the pg-meta meta DB (files/cmdb.sql) and is located in the database’s pigsty mode of the meta DB. Static config files can be loaded into the CMDB using .

Once the original config file is loaded into the CMDB as the initial data, Ansible can be configured to use the CMDB as the inventory.

You can switch back to a static config file.
