Examples

# Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
# look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

# Gather facts about all vm pools which names start with C(centos):
- ovirt_vmpools_facts:
    pattern: name=centos*
- debug:
    var: ovirt_vmpools

Return Values

Common return values are documented here Return Values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

 On success. list
