Note
This plugin is part of the community.network collection (version 3.0.0).
You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.
To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.network.
To use it in a playbook, specify: community.network.exos_facts.
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.| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| gather_network_resources list / elements=string | When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset. Possible values for this argument include all and the resources like interfaces, vlans etc. 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. Valid subsets are 'all', 'lldp_global'. | |
| gather_subset list / elements=string | 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. |
