## Synopsis

- Collect information from a Pure Storage Flasharray running the Purity//FA 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

- purestorage

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
api_token string / required |  | FlashArray API token for admin privileged user.
fa_url string / required |  | FlashArray management IPv4 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, subnet, interfaces, hgroups, pgroups, hosts, admins, volumes, snapshots, pods, vgroups, offload, apps, arrays, certs and kmip.

## Notes

Note

- This module requires the `purestorage` Python library

- You must set `PUREFA_URL` and `PUREFA_API` environment variables if fa_url and api_token arguments are not passed to the module directly

## Examples

    - name: collect default set of information
      purefa_info:
        fa_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: e31060a7-21fc-e277-6240-25983c6c4592
      register: array_info
    - name: show default information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ array_info['purefa_info']['default'] }}"

    - name: collect configuration and capacity information
      purefa_info:
        gather_subset:
          - config
        fa_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: e31060a7-21fc-e277-6240-25983c6c4592
      register: array_info
    - name: show configuration information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ array_info['purefa_info']['config'] }}"

    - name: collect all information
      purefa_info:
        gather_subset:
          - all
        fa_url: 10.10.10.2
        api_token: e31060a7-21fc-e277-6240-25983c6c4592
    - name: show all information
      debug:
        msg: "{{ array_info['purefa_info'] }}"
