fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor_fact filter questions
chr00ted opened this issue · comments
First off, thank you for the fortios collection, very much appreciated. I'm using the fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor_fact and I'm trying to give me the hostname of the firewall and set the hostname as a fact. How can I go about that. The only time I see any information is when I turn on debug.
Using your formatters and filter example:
- name: Get system status
fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor_fact:
vdom: root
formatters:
- model_name
filters:
- model_name==FortiGat
selector: 'system_status'
With that filter, I would only expect to see: Ansible return the model_Name Fortigate. Am I wrong in thinking that is what you filter puts out? My real question is how can I gather the hostname only and set that as a fact.

Hi @chr00ted ,
Thank you for raising this question, formatters
and filters
are not used for all resources, the example is kind of confusing, sorry about that. Here is an example for your reference, let me know if that doesn't solve your question.
- hosts: fortigates
collections:
- fortinet.fortios
connection: httpapi
vars:
vdom: root
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: true
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: false
ansible_httpapi_port: 443
tasks:
- name: Get system status
register: result
fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor_fact:
vdom: root
selector: 'system_status'
- debug: msg="{{ result.meta.results.hostname }}"
running resulte

@MaxxLiu22 - Thank you so much, that was exactly what I needed!
I have posted Fortinet playbook specific questions under Ansible Community forum for a separate issue. Would it be better to post Fortinet specific questions here or there or both? I don't want to bother you all.
Hi @chr00ted ,
You are welcome to post any questions here to let us know your concerns.
