Hi All, I wrote the following playbook to gather facts about a particular datastore from vsphere. the playbook worked, however I had to add -vvv flag to see the facts. 2 questions 1- is there a file that gets the output of the playbook 2- the facts are shown in bytes, is there a way to see the facts in GB. - name: gather facts from datacenter about datastore vmware\_datastore\_facts: hostname: DC-VCSA2 username: “{{ vcenter\_username }}” password: “{{ vcenter\_password }}” datacenter: Datacenter name: datastore1 validate\_certs: false delegate\_to: localhost register: facts ---

No, not without changing the code. >    - name: gather facts from datacenter about datastore >      vmware\_datastore\_facts: >        hostname: DC-VCSA2 >        username: "{{ vcenter\_username }}" >        password: "{{ vcenter\_password }}" >        datacenter: Datacenter >        name: datastore1 >        validate\_certs: false >      delegate\_to: localhost >      register: facts To see the content of fact variable just add this task - debug: var=facts
