Hi,
actually gather facts are not very useful. Is it possible to also/instead include hosts facts which can we get via playbook and vsphere quest task? I think these informations will be useful for everyone
I’m not a programmer so creating/modifying actual python script is not an easy way for me 
but it should be easy as it use same python vsphere API, so it’s only a question what should be get from vsphere and save in local cache.
I really appreciate any help/lead you can provide

NOW (not sure who can use such info):
~/.cache/ansible/SERVERNAME
{“vmware_disableSnapshotsSupported”: “False”, “vmware_diskSharesSupported”: “True”, “vmware_bootOptionsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_settingVideoRamSizeSupported”: “True”, “vmware_lockSnapshotsSupported”: “False”, “vmware_recordReplaySupported”: “True”, “vmware_snapshotConfigSupported”: “True”, “vmware_multipleSnapshotsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_settingScreenResolutionSupported”: “False”, “vmware_settingDisplayTopologySupported”: “False”, “vmware_poweredOffSnapshotsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_toolsAutoUpdateSupported”: “True”, “vmware_s1AcpiManagementSupported”: “True”, “vmware_consolePreferencesSupported”: “False”, “vmware_memorySnapshotsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_npivWwnOnNonRdmVmSupported”: “True”, “vmware_vmNpivWwnSupported”: “True”, “vmware_name”: “SERVERNAME”, “vmware_vmNpivWwnUpdateSupported”: “True”, “vmware_swapPlacementSupported”: “True”, “vmware_snapshotOperationsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_vmNpivWwnDisableSupported”: “True”, “vmware_toolsSyncTimeSupported”: “True”, “vmware_cpuFeatureMaskSupported”: “True”, “vmware_bootRetryOptionsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_revertToSnapshotSupported”: “True”, “vmware_quiescedSnapshotsSupported”: “True”, “vmware_changeTrackingSupported”: “True”, “vmware_virtualMmuUsageSupported”: “True”}
Better (get via vsphere quest task in playbook):
{“vmguest facts are {‘invocation’: {‘module_name’: u’vsphere_guest’, ‘module_args’: ‘’}, u’changed’: False, u’ansible_facts’: {u’hw_name’: u’SERVERNAME’, u’hw_processor_count’: 4, u’hw_memtotal_mb’: 4096, u’module_hw’: True, u’hw_guest_full_name’: u’Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (64-bit)‘, u’hw_guest_id’: u’rhel6_64Guest’, u’hw_eth0’: {u’macaddress’: u’XXXXX’, u’label’: u’Network adapter 1’, u’addresstype’: u’assigned’, u’summary’: u’vlan_XXXXX’, u’macaddress_dash’: u’XXXXX’}, u’hw_product_uuid’: u’XXXXX’}}”
