community.routeros.facts – Collect facts from remote devices running MikroTik RouterOS

Note

This plugin is part of the community.routeros collection (version 1.1.0).

To install it use: ansible-galaxy collection install community.routeros.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.routeros.facts.

Synopsis

• Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running RotuerOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with 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.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
gather_subset 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.

Examples

- name: Collect all facts from the device
  community.routeros.facts:
    gather_subset: all

- name: Collect only the config and default facts
  community.routeros.facts:
    gather_subset:
      - config

- name: Do not collect hardware facts
  community.routeros.facts:
    gather_subset:
      - "!hardware"

Returned Facts

Facts returned by this module are added/updated in the hostvars host facts and can be referenced by name just like any other host fact. They do not need to be registered in order to use them.
