Examples

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

# Gather facts about all Templates which relate to a storage domain and
# are unregistered:
- ovirt_storage_template_facts:
    unregistered=True
- debug:
    var: ovirt_storage_templates

Return Values

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

Key Returned Description
