+# API calls to Linode are slow. For this reason, we cache the results of an API
+# call. Set this to the path you want cache files to be written to. Two files
+# will be written to this directory:
+#   - ansible-Linode.cache
+#   - ansible-Linode.index
+cache_path = /tmp
+
+# The number of seconds a cache file is considered valid. After this many
+# seconds, a new API call will be made, and the cache file will be updated.

+Linode external inventory script
+=================================
+
+Generates inventory that Ansible can understand by making API request to
+AWS Linode using the Chube library.
+
+NOTE: This script assumes Ansible is being executed where Chube is already
+installed and has a valid config at ~/.chube. If not, run:
+
+    pip install chube
+    echo -e "---\napi_key: <YOUR API KEY GOES HERE>" > ~/.chube
+
+For more details, see: https://github.com/exosite/chube
+
+When run against a specific host, this script returns the following variables:
+
+    - api_id
+    - datacenter_id
+    - datacenter_city (lowercase city name of data center, e.g. 'tokyo')
+    - label
+    - display_group
+    - create_dt
+    - total_hd
+    - total_xfer
+    - total_ram
+    - status
+    - public_ip (The first public IP found)
+    - private_ip (The first private IP found, or empty string if none)
+    - alert_cpu_enabled
+    - alert_cpu_threshold
+    - alert_diskio_enabled
+    - alert_diskio_threshold
+    - alert_bwin_enabled
+    - alert_bwin_threshold
+    - alert_bwout_enabled
+    - alert_bwout_threshold
+    - alert_bwquota_enabled
+    - alert_bwquota_threshold
+    - backup_weekly_daily
+    - backup_window
+    - watchdog
+
+Peter Sankauskas did most of the legwork here with his linode plugin; I
+just adapted that for Linode.
