Re: Plugin parameters can't use other plugins to get data Here's an example inventory file for using a task plugin to retrieve config data and/or inventory.   The task i'm calling out to for config data accesses HashiCorp Vault and requires a secret API key and/or secret creds   The task for calling out to Foreman for targets uses the API and requires a username/password to authenticate.   version: 2 config: ssh: _plugin: task task: vault::bolt_ssh_config_lookup parameters: token: _plugin: pkcs7 value: super secret thing winrm: _plugin: task task: vault::bolt_winrm_config_lookup parameters: auth_backend: activedirectory username: svc_bolt_vault@domain.tld password: _plugin: pkcs7 value: super secret password   groups: - name: linux targets: _plugin: task task: foreman::groups parameters: # These parameters are specific to the task server: foreman.domain.tld username: bolt_user password: _plugin: pcks7 value: xxx

Plugin parameters can't use other plugins to get data

Change By: Lucy Wyman

Builtin plugins can't use other plugins to populate their data values. For example, the parameters key for the task plugin can't use the prompt or pkcs7 plugins to hide secret parameters.

Plugins should be able to be used in the config file. Plugin config should be loaded at start time, and plugin config should be loaded if it's referred to (depended on) by another plugin when it's referred to. It should error if there's a dependency loop. This applies to both config and inventory plugin hooks.   Rename inventory_config and inventory_targets hooks to lookup

Rename ` inventory_config ` and ` inventory_targets ` hooks to ` lookup `. Module tasks (link) depend on this change.

Yaml keys cannot be lookedup by a plugin. Groups can be looked up. Plugins can return other plugins, which will be evaluated. Features should be lazy loaded, everything else should be loaded at start time.
