vertica_info – Gathers Vertica database facts¶

Synopsis ¶

Gathers Vertica database information.
This module was called vertica_facts before Ansible 2.9, returning ansible_facts. Note that the vertica_info module no longer returns ansible_facts!

Aliases: vertica_facts

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
cluster -	Default: "localhost"	Name of the cluster running the schema.
db -		Name of the database running the schema.
login_password -		The password used to authenticate with.
login_user -	Default: "dbadmin"	The username used to authenticate with.
port -	Default: 5433	Database port to connect to.

Note

The default authentication assumes that you are either logging in as or sudo’ing to the dbadmin account on the host.
This module uses pyodbc, a Python ODBC database adapter. You must ensure that unixODBC and pyodbc is installed on the host and properly configured.
Configuring unixODBC for Vertica requires Driver = /opt/vertica/lib64/libverticaodbc.so to be added to the Vertica section of either /etc/odbcinst.ini or $HOME/.odbcinst.ini and both ErrorMessagesPath = /opt/vertica/lib64 and DriverManagerEncoding = UTF-16 to be added to the Driver section of either /etc/vertica.ini or $HOME/.vertica.ini.
