Synopsis
Collects facts from CloudEngine devices running the CloudEngine operating system. Fact collection is supported over Cli transport. 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.
Aliases: network.cloudengine.ce_facts
Parameters
