New in version 2.7.
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 added in 2.9 | 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 | 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. |
