facts gathering question

[Xander Cage]

hi all,

quick question, i'm trying to add some aix specific facts using the BaseFactCollector. for some reason the facts to not show up in the setup output. whats kind of wizardy has to be done do make this working?

i also added the new script to the following files.

facts/default_collectors.py:from ansible.module_utils.facts.system.aix import AIXFactCollector
facts/default_collectors.py:    AIXFactCollector

test code

from __future__ import (absolute_import, division, print_function)
__metaclass__ = type


import sys
import shlex
import os
import platform
import re
import itertools
import commands
import subprocess
try:
    import json
except ImportError:
    import simplejson as json


from ansible.module_utils.facts.utils import get_file_content


from ansible.module_utils.facts.collector import BaseFactCollector


class AIXFactCollector(BaseFactCollector):
    """
    Some handy AIX facts, more or less nice to haves
    """
    name = 'aix_goodies'
    _fact_ids = set()
    _platform = 'AIX'


    def get_oslevel(self):
        """
        get_oslevel function delivers oslevel -s output
        <OS Ver>-<TL>-<SP>-<BUILD DATE>
        OS Version, Technology Level, Servicepack and Build Date
        """
        rc, out, err = module.run_command(["/usr/bin/oslevel", "-s"])
        if rc != 0:
            module.fail_json(msg="could not determine oslevel", rc=rc, err=err)
        oslevel = {'oslevel_s': out.strip('\n')}
        keys = ('OS_Ver', 'TL', 'SP', 'BUILD_DATE')
        values = out.split('-')
        v_stript = [v.rstrip('0\n') for v in values]
        adict = dict(itertools.izip(keys, v_stript))
        oslevel.update(adict)


        return oslevel

ansible run

ansible all -i 'AIXBUILDHOSTNG,' -m setup -a 'gather_subset=aix_goodies' --tree /tmp/facts

defining the collector is not enough, you need to call it with all the
other collectors see 'default_collectors.py'
