os_port_facts - Retrieve facts about ports within OpenStack.

New in version 2.1.

Synopsis

  • Retrieve facts about ports from OpenStack.

Requirements (on host that executes module)

  • python >= 2.6
  • python >= 2.7
  • shade

Options

parameter required default choices comments
api_timeout
no None
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
no
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
no password
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
no
Ignored. Present for backwards compatibility
cacert
no None
A path to a CA Cert bundle that can be used as part of verifying SSL API requests.
cert
no None
A path to a client certificate to use as part of the SSL transaction.
cloud
no
Named cloud to operate against. 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.
endpoint_type
no public
  • public
  • internal
  • admin
Endpoint URL type to fetch from the service catalog.
filters
no
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.
key
no None
A path to a client key to use as part of the SSL transaction.
port
no
Unique name or ID of a port.
region_name
no
Name of the region.
timeout
no 180
How long should ansible wait for the requested resource.
validate_certs
no
Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified. Before 2.3 this defaulted to True.
aliases: verify
wait
no yes
  • yes
  • no
Should ansible wait until the requested resource is complete.

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

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

Status

This module is flagged as preview which means that it is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
