Description

Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running Ironware. 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.

Usage examples

  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Collect all facts from the device
- ironware_facts:
    gather_subset: all
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Collect only the config and default facts
- ironware_facts:
    gather_subset:
      - config
  • Success
    Steampunk Spotter scan finished with no errors, warnings or hints.
# Do not collect hardware facts
- ironware_facts:
    gather_subset:
      - "!hardware"

Inputs

    
provider:
    description:
    - B(Deprecated)
    - 'Starting with Ansible 2.7 we recommend using C(connection: network_cli) and C(become:
      yes).'
    - For more information please see the L(IronWare Platform Options guide, ../network/user_guide/platform_ironware.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:
        default: 22
        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:
        default: 10
        description:
        - Specifies idle timeout in seconds for the connection, in seconds. Useful if
          the console freezes before continuing. For example when saving configurations.
        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

      values for this argument include all, hardware, config, mpls and interfaces.  Can
