Synopsis

Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running EdgeOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with ansible_net_. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
gather_subset string	Default: "!config"	When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, default, config, and neighbors. Can specify a list of values to include a larger subset. Values can also be used with an initial `!` to specify that a specific subset should not be collected.
