module: gather_facts
version_added: 2.8
short_description: Gathers facts about remote hosts
description:
- This module takes care of executing the R(configured facts modules,FACTS_MODULES), the default is to use the M(ansible.builtin.setup) module.
- This module is automatically called by playbooks to gather useful variables about remote hosts that can be used in playbooks.
- It can also be executed directly by C(/usr/bin/ansible) to check what variables are available to a host.
- Ansible provides many I(facts) about the system, automatically.
options:
parallel:
description:
- A toggle that controls if the fact modules are executed in parallel or serially and in order.
This can guarantee the merge order of module facts at the expense of performance.
- By default it will be true if more than one fact module is used.
type: bool
notes:
- This module is mostly a wrapper around other fact gathering modules.
- Options passed to this module must be supported by all the underlying fact modules configured.
- Facts returned by each module will be merged, conflicts will favor 'last merged'.
Order is not guaranteed, when doing parallel gathering on multiple modules.
