HI,  
I am doing a similar script to gather inventory of remote systems.  
I have the input list in my inventory file as the list of remote IPs.  
I need to extract the fields like CPU, RAM, Kernel version, and the docker version running on those boxes.  
I am currently using the following cmd to extract what I need, only to html format

1. ansible -i my\_inv\_file -m setup --tree out/ all
2. ansible-cmdb --exclude-cols=dtap,comment,ext\_id,fqdn,all\_ipv4,all\_ipv6,os,arch,virt,mem\_usage,swap\_usage,disk\_usage,physdisk\_size,nr\_of\_ifaces,prodname,prodserial -t html\_fancy\_split -p local\_js=1 out/

This is getting me the cols I need. I also need sensible version.

To this end, I tried to add an additional option “-C examples/cust-cols.conf” to the above command. And was able to get some dummy columns added to test, but I need to have docker\_version field.  
Can you please help me.

Hi,

you should be able to use the docker\_host\_info module to find out the  
dcker daemon version. Check out its host\_info return value  
([https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/docker\_host\_info\_module.html#return-host\_info](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/docker_host_info_module.html#return-host_info)).

How you can integrate that into your output, that's another story...

Cheers,  
Felix

Thank you, Felix, will explore.
