Synopsis ¶

Retrieve facts about ports from OpenStack.

Requirements ¶

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

openstacksdk
python >= 2.7

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
api_timeout		How long should the socket layer wait before timing out for API calls. If this is omitted, nothing will be passed to the requests library.
auth		Dictionary containing auth information as needed by the cloud's auth plugin strategy. For the default password plugin, this would contain auth_url, username, password, project_name and any information about domains if the cloud supports them. For other plugins, this param will need to contain whatever parameters that auth plugin requires. This parameter is not needed if a named cloud is provided or OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present.
auth_type		Name of the auth plugin to use. If the cloud uses something other than password authentication, the name of the plugin should be indicated here and the contents of the auth parameter should be updated accordingly.
availability_zone		Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
cacert		A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert		A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
cloud		Named cloud or cloud config to operate against. If cloud is a string, it references a named cloud config as defined in an OpenStack clouds.yaml file. Provides default values for auth and auth_type. This parameter is not needed if auth is provided or if OpenStack OS_* environment variables are present. If cloud is a dict, it contains a complete cloud configuration like would be in a section of clouds.yaml.
filters		A dictionary of meta data to use for further filtering. Elements of this dictionary will be matched against the returned port dictionaries. Matching is currently limited to strings within the port dictionary, or strings within nested dictionaries.
interface (added in 2.3)	Choices: public ← internal admin	Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog. aliases: endpoint_type
key		A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
port		Unique name or ID of a port.
region_name		Name of the region.
timeout	Default: 180	How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
verify bool	Choices: no yes	Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before 2.3 this defaulted to True. aliases: validate_certs
wait bool	Choices: no yes ←	Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

Notes ¶

Note

Facts are placed in the openstack_ports variable.
The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.
Auth information is driven by os-client-config, which means that values can come from a yaml config file in /etc/ansible/openstack.yaml, /etc/openstack/clouds.yaml or ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml, then from standard environment variables, then finally by explicit parameters in plays. More information can be found at http://docs.openstack.org/developer/os-client-config

Examples ¶

# Gather facts about all ports
- os_port_facts:
    cloud: mycloud

# Gather facts about a single port
- os_port_facts:
    cloud: mycloud
    port: 6140317d-e676-31e1-8a4a-b1913814a471

# Gather facts about all ports that have device_id set to a specific value
# and with a status of ACTIVE.
- os_port_facts:
    cloud: mycloud
    filters:
      device_id: 1038a010-3a37-4a9d-82ea-652f1da36597
      status: ACTIVE

Return Values ¶

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

Key		Returned	Description
openstack_ports complex		always, but can be null	List of port dictionaries. A subset of the dictionary keys listed below may be returned, depending on your cloud provider.
	status string	success	The port status. Sample: ACTIVE
	dns_name string	success	DNS name
	binding:host_id string	success	The UUID of the host where the port is allocated. Sample: b4bd682d-234a-4091-aa5b-4b025a6a7759
	allowed_address_pairs list	success	A set of zero or more allowed address pairs. An address pair consists of an IP address and MAC address.
	extra_dhcp_opts list	success	A set of zero or more extra DHCP option pairs. An option pair consists of an option value and name.
	dns_assignment list	success	DNS assignment information.
	device_owner string	success	The UUID of the entity that uses this port. Sample: network:router_interface
	port_security_enabled boolean	success	The port security status. The status is enabled (true) or disabled (false).
	binding:profile dict	success	A dictionary the enables the application running on the host to pass and receive VIF port-specific information to the plug-in.
	fixed_ips list	success	The IP addresses for the port. Includes the IP address and UUID of the subnet.
	id string	success	The UUID of the port. Sample: 3ec25c97-7052-4ab8-a8ba-92faf84148de
	security_groups list	success	The UUIDs of any attached security groups.
	device_id string	success	The UUID of the device that uses this port. Sample: b4bd682d-234a-4091-aa5b-4b025a6a7759
	name string	success	The port name. Sample: port_name
	admin_state_up boolean	success	The administrative state of the router, which is up (true) or down (false). Sample: True
	network_id string	success	The UUID of the attached network. Sample: dd1ede4f-3952-4131-aab6-3b8902268c7d
	ip_address string	success	The IP address. Sample: 127.0.0.1
	binding:vif_details dict	success	A dictionary that enables the application to pass information about functions that the Networking API provides. Sample: {'port_filter': True}
	binding:vnic_type string	success	The virtual network interface card (vNIC) type that is bound to the neutron port. Sample: normal
	binding:vif_type dict	success	The VIF type for the port. Sample: ovs
	tenant_id string	success	The UUID of the tenant who owns the network. Sample: 51fce036d7984ba6af4f6c849f65ef00
	mac_address string	success	The MAC address. Sample: 00:00:5E:00:53:42
