## Requirements

- python >= 2.7
- ovirt-engine-sdk-python >= 4.3.0

## Parameters

Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments
--- | --- | ---
auth dictionary / required |  | Dictionary with values needed to create HTTP/HTTPS connection to oVirt: `username`[required] - The name of the user, something like admin@internal. Default value is set by OVIRT_USERNAME environment variable. `password`[required] - The password of the user. Default value is set by OVIRT_PASSWORD environment variable. `url`- A string containing the API URL of the server, usually something like `https://server.example.com/ovirt-engine/api`. Default value is set by OVIRT_URL environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required. `hostname` - A string containing the hostname of the server, usually something like `server.example.com`. Default value is set by OVIRT_HOSTNAME environment variable. Either `url` or `hostname` is required. `token` - Token to be used instead of login with username/password. Default value is set by OVIRT_TOKEN environment variable. `insecure` - A boolean flag that indicates if the server TLS certificate and host name should be checked. `ca_file` - A PEM file containing the trusted CA certificates. The certificate presented by the server will be verified using these CA certificates. If ``ca_file`` parameter is not set, system wide CA certificate store is used. Default value is set by OVIRT_CAFILE environment variable. `kerberos` - A boolean flag indicating if Kerberos authentication should be used instead of the default basic authentication. `headers` - Dictionary of HTTP headers to be added to each API call.
fetch_nested boolean added in 2.3 | Choices: no yes | If yes the module will fetch additional data from the API. It will fetch IDs of the VMs disks, snapshots, etc. User can configure to fetch other attributes of the nested entities by specifying `nested_attributes`.
host - |  | Name of the host, which tags should be listed.
name - |  | Name of the tag which should be listed.
nested_attributes list added in 2.3 |  | Specifies list of the attributes which should be fetched from the API. This parameter apply only when `fetch_nested` is true.
vm - |  | Name of the VM, which tags should be listed.

## Notes

Note

- This module creates a new top-level `ovirt_tags` fact, which contains a list of tags
- In order to use this module you have to install oVirt Python SDK. To ensure it’s installed with correct version you can create the following task: pip: name=ovirt-engine-sdk-python version=4.3.0

## Examples

    # Examples don't contain auth parameter for simplicity,
    # look at ovirt_auth module to see how to reuse authentication:

    # Gather facts about all tags, which names start with C(tag):
    - ovirt_tag_facts:
        name: tag*
    - debug:
        var: tags

    # Gather facts about all tags, which are assigned to VM C(postgres):
    - ovirt_tag_facts:
        vm: postgres
    - debug:
        var: tags

    # Gather facts about all tags, which are assigned to host C(west):
    - ovirt_tag_facts:
        host: west
    - debug:
        var: tags

## Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key | Returned | Description
--- | --- | ---
ovirt_tags list | On success. | List of dictionaries describing the tags. Tags attributes are mapped to dictionary keys, all tags attributes can be found at following url: http://ovirt.github.io/ovirt-engine-api-model/master/#types/tag.

## Status

- This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface. [preview]
