inventory export in csv from commandline

[danilansible]

Hi Raphael/team,

Offline inventory export is a cool feature, can you please guide me to call it from the server itself and write locally to a csv. Got some hints from inventory.tmpl calling js datatables., couldn't move further though for a cmd level export

Hi danilansible, to be honest we'll probably moving away from this offline inventory soon to build something more integrated into Grafana and beter at handling big inventories so you'll be able to export csv from grafana api i guess but i'll look into something to have a csv ready to download if that would be interesting to you?

Thank you for the quick update. yes, that definitely would be of great help. to be able to download in a cmd line freindly way or generate it in some local path on the server itself.

@rschitz Excuse me checking if you got a chance to look at this. No worries if its taking time, as you would be busy with making more interesting stuff available :)

[rschitz]

not yet sorry, i'll let you know ;)

we'll be using this as the new offline inventory viewer so it will serve both purpose https://marcus.se.net/grafana-csv-datasource/
