boolean

  • no
  • yes

If true all the attributes of the virtual machines should be included in the response.

auth

- / required

Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:

username[required] - The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable.

password[required] - The password of the user. Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable.

url- A string containing the API URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`. Default value is set by OVIRT_URL environment variable. Either url or hostname is required.

hostname - A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`. Default value is set by OVIRT_HOSTNAME environment variable. Either url or hostname is required.

token - Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by OVIRT_TOKEN environment variable.

insecure - A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.

ca_file - 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.

kerberos - A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication.

headers - Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.

case_sensitive

boolean

  • yes

If true performed search will take case into account.

fetch_nested

boolean

-

added in 2.3

Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API.

This parameter apply only when fetch_nested is true.

pattern

-

Search term which is accepted by oVirt/RHV search backend.

For example to search VM X from cluster Y use following pattern: name=X and cluster=Y



Notes

Note

  • This module creates a new top-level ovirt_vms fact, which contains a list of virtual machines.
  • 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=4.2.4


Examples

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

# Gather facts about all VMs which names start with C(centos) and
# belong to cluster C(west):
- ovirt_vm_facts:
    pattern: name=centos* and cluster=west
- debug:
    var: ovirt_vms

Return Values

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

Key Returned Description

ovirt_vms

list

On success.

List of dictionaries describing the VMs. VM attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all VMs attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/vm.
