Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth dictionary / required			Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
	ca_file string		A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If `ca_file` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used. Default value is set by `OVIRT_CAFILE` environment variable.

Notes

Note

This module returns a variable ovirt_templates, which contains a list of templates. 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: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.4.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather information about all templates which names start with C(centos) and
# belongs to data center C(west):
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_template_info:
    pattern: name=centos* and datacenter=west
  register: result
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_templates }}"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key	Returned	Description
ovirt_templates list / elements=string	On success.	List of dictionaries describing the templates. Template attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all templates attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/template.
