Hello,

I would like to use some of my own routines to override the built-in inventory collection scripts. For example, the default gather facts for raspberry pi shows debian for OS, and I’d like it to use /proc/device-tree/model for the model. For other platforms, I’d like to use output from dmidecode. Please let me know the best way to supersede these built-ins with my own code.

I’d like to make this transparent so that I can use the ansible -m setup and ansible-cmdb commands as usual.

Thanks in advance,

jorgy
