ansible / ansible.builtin / v2.7.16 / module / ios_facts Collect facts from remote devices running Cisco IOS | "added in version" 2.2 of ansible.builtin" Authors: Peter Sprygada (@privateip) preview | supported by networkansible.builtin.ios_facts (v2.7.16) — module
pip
Install with pip install ansible==2.7.16
Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running IOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with C(ansible_net_<fact>). The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.
# Collect all facts from the device - ios_facts: gather_subset: all
# Collect only the config and default facts - ios_facts: gather_subset: - config
# Do not collect hardware facts - ios_facts: gather_subset: - "!hardware"
provider: description: - B(Deprecated) - 'Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli).' - For more information please see the U(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/network/user_guide/platform_ios.html). - HORIZONTALLINE - A dict object containing connection details. suboptions: auth_pass: description: - Specifies the password to use if required to enter privileged mode on the remote device. If I(authorize) is false, then this argument does nothing. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTH_PASS) will be used instead. type: str authorize: default: false description: - Instructs the module to enter privileged mode on the remote device before sending any commands. If not specified, the device will attempt to execute all commands in non-privileged mode. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_AUTHORIZE) will be used instead. type: bool host: description: - Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over the specified transport. The value of host is used as the destination address for the transport. type: str password: description: - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. type: str port: description: - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device. type: int ssh_keyfile: description: - Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. type: path timeout: description: - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error. type: int username: description: - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. type: str type: dict gather_subset: default: '!config' description: - When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial C(M(!)) to specify that a specific subset should not be collected. required: false
