## Synopsis

- Collects a base set of device facts from a remote device that is running NOS. This module prepends all of the base network fact keys with `ansible_net_<fact>`. The facts module will always collect a base set of facts from the device and can enable or disable collection of additional facts.

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
gather_subset - | Default: "!config" | 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.

## Notes

Note

- Tested against NOS 7.2.0

## Examples

    # Collect all facts from the device
    - nos_facts:
        gather_subset: all

    # Collect only the config and default facts
    - nos_facts:
        gather_subset:
          - config

    # Do not collect hardware facts
    - nos_facts:
        gather_subset:
          - "!hardware"
