Notes
Note
- This module returns a variable
ovirt_snapshots
, which contains a list of snapshots. You need to register the result with the register keyword to use it. - In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: ansible.builtin.pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.3.0
Examples
# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:
- name: Gather information about all snapshots which description start with update for VM named centos7
ovirt_snapshot_info:
vm: centos7
description: update*
register: result
- name: Print gathered information
ansible.builtin.debug:
msg: "{{ result.ovirt_snapshots }}"
Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
ovirt_snapshots list / elements=string |
On success. |
List of dictionaries describing the snapshot. Snapshot attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all snapshot attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/snapshot.
