short_description: Gathers facts about remote hosts
|
|
description:
|
|
- This module takes care of executing the configured facts modules, the default is to use the M(setup) module.
|
|
- This module is automatically called by playbooks to gather useful variables about remote hosts that can be used in playbooks.
|
|
- It can also be executed directly by C(/usr/bin/ansible) to check what variables are available to a host.
|
|
- Ansible provides many I(facts) about the system, automatically.
|
|
options:
|
|
parallel:
|
|
description:
|
|
- A toggle that controls if the fact modules are executed in parallel or serially and in order.
|
|
This can guarantee the merge order of module facts at the expense of performance.
|
|
- By default it will be true if more than one fact module is used.
|
|
type: bool
|
|
notes:
|
|
- This module is mostly a wrapper around other fact gathering modules.
|
|
- Options passed to this module must be supported by all the underlying fact modules configured.
|
|
- Facts returned by each module will be merged, conflicts will favor 'last merged'.
|
|
Order is not guaranteed, when doing parallel gathering on multiple modules.
