`host`.`variables`. How to fill? about ansible-dyninv-mysql HOT 2 CLOSED

OK. I know how to do it. It must be filled with JSON, eg

{
    "credentials": {
        "user": "admin",
        "password": "password",
        "timeout": 120
    }
}

Then I use
provider: "{{ credentials }}"
inside my playbooks for Juniper switches. Common credentials that work for majority of the switches I've put in group_vars/all.yaml file. Then according to Ansible precedence table (https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/user_guide/playbooks_variables.html) all switches will use credentials from the file but switches that have `host`.`variables` JSON values will use credentials from the database table.
So now I can use switches with different usernames or/and passwords easily.
