CSV import feature to manage inventory and host_vars easily

[eldho-varghese]

Hi @fboender

Would you able to add a feature to import a CSV file which can create hosts and host_vars in json format and that can be used create additional columns based on CSV fields

At present my team is contributing to a large csv file which has some static information like, Application Owner, Sysadmin, Environment, System description etc. An I'm then using [(https://github.com/jeremyschulman/ansible-csv2hosts)] generate host_vars and hosts in json format and feeding that info ansible-cmdb.

Thanks

Hey Eldho!

Does your current solution (ansible-csv2hosts) not already do this? Importing CSV to create host/host_vars is outside the scope of ansible-cmdb I'm afraid.
