Synopsis

Retrieve information about one or more oVirt/RHV datacenters.
This module was called ovirt_datacenter_facts before Ansible 2.9, returning ansible_facts. Note that the ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter_info module no longer returns ansible_facts!

Requirements

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

python >= 2.7
ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.4.0

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
auth dictionary / required			Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt:
	ca_file string		A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If `ca_file` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used. Default value is set by `OVIRT_CAFILE` environment variable.
	compress boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Flag indicating if compression is used for connection.
	headers dictionary		Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
	hostname string		A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`. Default value is set by `OVIRT_HOSTNAME` environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required.
	insecure boolean	Choices: no ← yes	A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked.
	kerberos boolean	Choices: no yes	A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication.
	password string		The password of the user. Default value is set by `OVIRT_PASSWORD` environment variable.
	timeout integer		Number of seconds to wait for response.
	token string		Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by `OVIRT_TOKEN` environment variable.
	url string		A string containing the API URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`. Default value is set by `OVIRT_URL` environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required.
	username string		The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by `OVIRT_USERNAME` environment variable.
fetch_nested boolean		Choices: no ← yes	If yes the module will fetch additional data from the API. It will fetch only IDs of nested entity. It doesn't fetch multiple levels of nested attributes. Only the attributes of the current entity. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying `nested_attributes`. This parameter is deprecated and replaced by `follows`.
follows list / elements=string added in 1.5.0 of ovirt.ovirt			List of linked entities, which should be fetched along with the main entity. This parameter replaces usage of `fetch_nested` and `nested_attributes`.
nested_attributes list / elements=string			Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true. This parameter is deprecated and replaced by `follows`.
pattern string			Search term which is accepted by oVirt/RHV search backend. For example to search datacenter X use following pattern: name=X

Notes

Note

This module returns a variable ovirt_datacenters, which contains a list of datacenters. You need to register the result with the register keyword to use it.
In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.4.0

Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather information about all data centers which names start with C(production):
- ovirt.ovirt.ovirt_datacenter_info:
    pattern: name=production*
  register: result
- ansible.builtin.debug:
    msg: "{{ result.ovirt_datacenters }}"

Return Values

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

Key	Returned	Description
ovirt_datacenters list / elements=string	On success.	List of dictionaries describing the datacenters. Datacenter attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all datacenters attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/data_center.
