Need variable that matches certain group-host run

[Naftali Burnham]

Hi,

   Im not finding exactly what Im trying to do, or maybe Im not getting how to accomplish this.  Ive been playing with different ways to do this.

I need so set some different variable in a template. 

this is content of j2 file.

---
monitoring:
  -
    lpmonitoring: {{ item.mon }}
    lpenvironment: {{ item.env }}

When I have a run that pulls the above template I need that item.mon and item.env variable to be set accoring to which hosts: GROUP is running....

as in when I run the playbook against the hosts in group P1-CI I want the variables to be item.mon=P1 and item.env=CI   and when it runs in P1-QA i want to  variable to be item.mon=P1 item.env=QA

---
- name: generate lpmonitoringYaml facter file
  hosts: P1-CI,P1-QA

Thanks very much

Hi I found my answer ...

Because I needed default variable to be attached to a specific host/inventory group during that group run I needed to add them into the inventory file itself.... for this case it works perfect.

[P1-CI]
