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

mac_address	The MAC address.	success	string	00:00:5E:00:53:42

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.
