How to get host/group name for dynamic inventory?

[Souren Abeghyan]

Having ec2 dynamic inventory and pattern in hosts:

- hosts: [tag_Name_m*]

which variable holds the full host/tag/group name?

[Zacharias Thompson]

You can always see all the variables available to you by doing something like what was posted here: https://gryzli.info/2015/05/29/ansible-dump-all-variables/

The other option would be to just create a task that prints out current variables, example:

 - name: See Variables
   hosts: [tag_name_m*]
   connection: local
   tasks:
    - name: see vars

      debug: var=vars

play_hosts has the 'list of current hosts in play'
