Export in-memory inventory to yml or ini file

[Mike V]

I have a playbook that generates in-memory inventory.  The hosts are part of multiple groups.  Is there a module or easy way to export the in-memory inventory to an output file?

[Vladimir Botka]

Yes. It is. For example use this template

{% for group in groups %}
[{{ group }}]
{% for host in groups[group] %}
{{ host }}
{% endfor %}

{% endfor %}

HTH,

Works great!  I never used templates, just a little bit more help, how do I export the host variables and group variables too?

Thank you!

I played around some more and was able to figure it out. thanks for teaching me how to fish.
