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
          Name of the availability zone.
          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 True
                            Whether or not SSL API requests should be verified.

                            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

                            # 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 Common Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

                            name description returned type sample
                            openstack_ports List of port dictionaries. A subset of the dictionary keys listed below may be returned, depending on your cloud provider. always, but can be null complex


                            Notes

                            Note

                            Facts are placed in the openstack_ports variable.

                            Note

                            The standard OpenStack environment variables, such as OS_USERNAME may be used instead of providing explicit values.

                            Note

                            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.
