* Setup module is used to gather fact information
ansible -i inventory servers -m setup
* Facts provide a lot of information, Filter them:
ansible -i inventory servers -m setup -a 'filter=ansible_kernel'
* Custom facts can be created to display information about a host.
* Create a file on the Managed Host:
sudo nano /etc/ansible/facts.d/servers.fact
[server_info]
profile = web_server
Check the facts:
ansible -i inventory servers -m setup -a 'filter=ansible_local'
