If a file is not executable it is read instead.

File/results format can be JSON or INI-format. The default C(fact_path) can be
|
|
|
|
|
specified in C(ansible.cfg) for when setup is automatically called as part of
|
|
|
|
|
C(gather_facts).
|
|
|
|
|
NOTE - For windows clients, the results will be added to a variable named after the
|
|
|
|
|
local file (without extension suffix), rather than C(ansible_local).
|
|
|
|
|
- Since Ansible 2.1, Windows hosts can use C(fact_path). Make sure that this path
|
|
|
|
|
exists on the target host. Files in this path MUST be PowerShell scripts C(.ps1)
|
|
|
|
|
which outputs an object. This object will be formatted by Ansible as json so the
|
|
|
|

script should be outputting a raw hashtable, array, or other primitive object.

- The filter option filters only the first level subkey below ansible_facts.

|
|
- If the target host is Windows, you will not currently have the ability to use
|
|
|
|
|
C(filter) as this is provided by a simpler implementation of the module.
|
|
|
|
|
- If the target host is Windows you can now use C(fact_path). Make sure that this path
|
|
|
|
|
exists on the target host. Files in this path MUST be PowerShell scripts (``*.ps1``) and
|

their output must be formattable in JSON (Ansible will take care of this). Test the

output of your scripts.

This option was added in Ansible 2.1.

- This module is also supported for Windows targets.

- This module should be run with elevated privileges on BSD systems to gather facts like ansible_product_version.
