Inventory

---

The inventory playbook has been created to inventory devices and to publish the collected inventory to Centurion ERP. The inventory includes details of all software packages installed on the host machine as well as some details regarding the host machine such as UUID and serial number.

The inventory playbook includes the AWX Feature to import the playbook as a job template in AWX / Ansible Automation Platform.

The following job template will be created:

• Centurion/ITAM/Inventory Inventory host machines and publish to Centurion ERP

On import to AWX / Ansible Automation Platform a credential type will also be created, 'Collection/No Fuss Computing/Centurion/API' that can be used to supply the required secrets and Centurion host.
