Hi,

What do you want to achieve ?  
There is a module since ansible 2.5 version for what you want :

[https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/service\_facts\_module.html](https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/modules/service_facts_module.html)

Regards,

JYL

It works... use it correctly

Ansible ad-hoc use :

ansible -m service\_facts -i my\_ip\_address, my\_ip\_address

For playbook there's a sample in the help...

If you want some help, please provide a command line or a playbook to request help.
