> JUNOS_FACTS    (/usr/

lib/python2.7/dist-packages/ansible/modules/network/junos/junos_facts.py)

        Collects fact information from a remote device running the Junos operating system.  By
        default, the module will collect basic fact information from the device to be included
        with the hostvars. Additional fact information can be collected based on the configured
        set of arguments.

OPTIONS (= is mandatory):

- config_format
        The `config_format' argument specifies the format of the configuration when serializing
        output from the device. This argument is applicable only when `config' value is present
        in `gather_subset'. The `config_format' should be supported by the junos version running
        on device.
        (Choices: xml, set, text, json)[Default: text]
        version_added: 2.3

- gather_subset
        When supplied, this argument will restrict the facts collected to a given subset.
        Possible values for this argument include all, hardware, config, and interfaces.  Can
        specify a list of values to include a larger subset.  Values can also be used with an
        initial `[!]' to specify that a specific subset should not be collected. To maintain
        backward compatbility old style facts can be retrieved using all value, this reqires
        junos-eznc to be installed as a prerequisite.
        [Default: !config]
        version_added: 2.3

- provider
        *Deprecated*
        Starting with Ansible 2.5 we recommend using `connection: network_cli' or `connection:
        netconf'.
        For more information please see the L(Junos OS Platform Options guide,
        ../network/user_guide/platform_junos.html).
        HORIZONTALLINE
        A dict object containing connection details.
        [Default: None]
        suboptions:
          host:
            description:
            - Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote device over
              the specified transport.  The value of host is used as the destination address
              for the transport.
            required: true
          password:
            default: null
            description:
            - Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.   This
              value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is not specified
              in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD' will
              be used instead.
          port:
            default: 22
            description:
            - Specifies the port to use when building the connection to the remote device.  The
              port value will default to the well known SSH port of 22 (for `transport=cli')
              or port 830 (for `transport=netconf') device.
          ssh_keyfile:
            description:
            - Specifies the SSH key to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device.   This
              value is the path to the key used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value
              is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE'
              will be used instead.
          timeout:
            default: 10
            description:
            - Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for
              either connecting or sending commands.  If the timeout is exceeded before the
              operation is completed, the module will error.
          username:
            description:
            - Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote
              device.  This value is used to authenticate the SSH session. If the value is
              not specified in the task, the value of environment variable `ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME'
              will be used instead.



NOTES:
      * Ensure `config_format' used to retrieve configuration from device is supported by
        junos version running on device.
      * With `config_format = json', configuration in the results will be a dictionary(and
        not a JSON string)
      * This module requires the netconf system service be enabled on the remote device
        being managed.
      * Tested against vSRX JUNOS version 15.1X49-D15.4, vqfx-10000 JUNOS Version
        15.1X53-D60.4.
      * Recommended connection is `netconf'. See L(the Junos OS Platform
        Options,../network/user_guide/platform_junos.html).
      * This module also works with `local' connections for legacy playbooks.
      * For information on using CLI and netconf see the :ref:`Junos OS Platform Options
        guide <junos_platform_options>`
      * For more information on using Ansible to manage network devices see the
        :ref:`Ansible Network Guide <network_guide>`
