ec2 inventory to return Name tags

[Nicolas G]

Hi,

I'm able to run Ansible on AWS using ec2.py successfully but unfortunately I get the public DNS of the instance instead of the Name tag :

ansible -i plugins/inventory/ec2.py "tag_Environment_prod" -m shell -a "uptime"

ec2-54-205-89-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com | success | rc=0 >>

Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on

/dev/xvde1      7.9G  6.4G  1.2G  85% /

tmpfs           296M     0  296M   0% /dev/shm

/dev/xvdj        99G  973M   93G   2% /srv

Is there a way I can set the return to be the ec2 tag names which reflects to my instances fqdn's so instead of seeing ec2-54-205-89-44.compute-1.amazonaws.com I want to see something like db3.example.com  ?

Regards,

Nicolas.

Try to set in your ec2.ini:

destination_variable=Name
