I have a simple yml: plugin: nmap address: 192.168.10.0/24 ... But I need to pass the network range as a external variable, as example: plugin: nmap address: '{{ mynetrange }}' # I tested this argument also: use_extra_vars: true ... And launch as: ansible-inventory -i nmap.yml --list -e "mynetrange=192.168.10.0/24" but I can't get it to work, someone could help me?
