bigip_gtm_facts – Collect facts from F5 BIG-IP GTM devices
bigip_gtm_facts – Collect facts from F5 BIG-IP GTM devices
New in version 2.3.
DEPRECATED
Removed in Ansible: | |
---|---|
version: 2.11 | |
Why: | The bigip_gtm_facts module is an outlier as all facts are being collected in the bigip_device_facts module. Additionally, the bigip_device_facts module is easier to maintain and use. |
Alternative: | bigip_device_facts |

Notes
Note
- This module is deprecated. Use the
bigip_device_facts
module instead. - For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
- Requires the f5-sdk Python package on the host. This is as easy as
pip install f5-sdk
. - Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
- The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
