Restrict Access to Custom Variables

Imagine the following host custom variable structure.

host.vars.
|-- cmdb_name
|-- cmdb_id
|-- cmdb_location
|-- wiki_id
|-- passwords.
|   |-- mysql_password
|   |-- ldap_password
|   `-- mongodb_password
|-- legacy.
|   |-- cmdb_name
|   |-- mysql_password
|   `-- wiki_id
`-- backup.
    `-- passwords.
        |-- mysql_password
        `-- ldap_password

host.vars.cmdb_name

Blacklists cmdb_name in the first level of the custom variable structure only. host.vars.legacy.cmdb_name is not blacklisted.

host.vars.cmdb_*

All custom variables in the first level of the structure which begin with cmdb_ become blacklisted. Deeper custom variables are ignored. host.vars.legacy.cmdb_name is not blacklisted.

host.vars.*id

All custom variables in the first level of the structure which end with id become blacklisted. Deeper custom variables are ignored. host.vars.legacy.wiki_id is not blacklisted.

host.vars.*.mysql_password

Matches all custom variables on the second level which are equal to mysql_password.

host.vars.*.*password

Matches all custom variables on the second level which end with password.

host.vars.*.mysql_password,host.vars.*.ldap_password

Matches all custorm variables on the second level which equal mysql_password or ldap_password.

host.vars.**.*password

Matches all custom variables on all levels which end with password.

Please note the two asterisks, **, here for crossing level boundaries. This syntax is used for matching the complete custom variable structure.

If you want to restrict all custom variables that end with password for both hosts and services, you have to define the following restriction.

host.vars.**.*password,service.vars.**.*password

Escape Meta Characters

Use backslash to escape the meta characters

host.vars.\*fall

Matches all custom variables in the first level which equal *fall.
