nos_facts – Collect facts from devices running Extreme NOS

New in version 2.7.


Synopsis

  • Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running NOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with 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.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

gather_subset

-

Default:

"!config"

When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces. 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.
