eos_facts

Synopsis

Added in version 1.0.0

The eos_facts module collects facts from the EOS for use in Ansible playbooks. It can be used independently as well to discover what facts are availble from the node. This facts module does not cache any facts. If no configuration options are specified, then all facts are returned.
