Hi,

I’m new to Ansible and am after some assistance with the snmp\_facts module. I am looking to extract some information using snmp\_facts but the OIDs are not included by default. I know they exist as I can get the information using snmpwalk. Are there any additional switches I can use in the playbook to get more info?

Below is a section the playbook I’m running.

tasks:

- name: Display SNMP information  
snmp\_facts: host={{ inventory\_hostname }} version=v2c community=XXXXXX

Thanks,  
Mark
