Hi.

I guess I am missing something obvious, but how can I print some ansible fact from all remote nodes. For example I want to get $ansible\_memtotal\_mb from all nodes:

tasks:

- name: get mem fact

action: command echo $ansible\_memtotal\_mb

But when I run this playbook, nothing happens, I mean Its not printing anything…

Add -v to your command line to ansible-playbook or run the setup module with

/usr/bin/ansible all -m setup
