## Synopsis

- Collect information from a Pure Storage FlashBlade running the Purity//FB operating system. By default, the module will collect basic information including hosts, host groups, protection groups and volume counts. Additional information can be collected based on the configured set of arguments.

## Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

- python >= 2.7
- purity_fb >= 1.1

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
api_token string |  | FlashBlade API token for admin privileged user.
fb_url string |  | FlashBlade management IP address or Hostname.
gather_subset list | Default: "minimum" | When supplied, this argument will define the information to be collected. Possible values for this include all, minimum, config, performance, capacity, network, subnets, lags, filesystems and snapshots.

## Notes

Note

- This module requires the `purity_fb` Python library
- You must set `PUREFB_URL` and `PUREFB_API` environment variables if fb_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly

## Examples

    - name: collect default set of info
      purefb_info:
        fb_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: T-55a68eb5-c785-4720-a2ca-8b03903bf641
      register: blade_info
    - name: show default information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ blade_info['purefb_info']['default'] }}"

    - name: collect configuration and capacity info
      purefb_info:
        gather_subset:
          - config
        fb_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: T-55a68eb5-c785-4720-a2ca-8b03903bf641
      register: blade_info
    - name: show config information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ blade_info['purefb_info']['config'] }}"

    - name: collect all info
      purefb_info:
        gather_subset:
          - all
        fb_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: T-55a68eb5-c785-4720-a2ca-8b03903bf641
      register: blade_info
    - name: show all information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ blade_info['purefb_info'] }}"
