## Synopsis

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

## Requirements

- 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 facts 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
