voss_facts – Collect facts from remote devices running Extreme VOSS

New in version 2.7.

Synopsis

• Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running VOSS. 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.

Notes

Note

• Tested against VOSS 7.0.0

Examples

# Collect all facts from the device
- voss_facts:
    gather_subset: all

# Collect only the config and default facts
- voss_facts:
    gather_subset:
      - config

# Do not collect hardware facts
- voss_facts:
    gather_subset:
      - "!hardware"
