Get information about remote hosts using Ansible

Get information about remote hosts using Ansible setup command

Below command gives all the information of client hosts which includes memory, server architecture, IP adresses etc.

[root@ansible mywork]# ansible all -i hosts -m setup


If you need just memory information of remote node then for the above command need to add filter as shown below

[root@ansible mywork]# ansible all -i hosts -m setup -a "filter=ansible_*_mb"
node01 | SUCCESS => {
    "ansible_facts": {
        "ansible_memfree_mb": 873,
        "ansible_memory_mb": {
            "nocache": {
                "free": 919,
                "used": 77
            },
            "real": {
                "free": 873,
                "total": 996,
                "used": 123
            },
            "swap": {
                "cached": 0,
                "free": 1535,
                "total": 1535,
                "used": 0
            }
        },
        "ansible_memtotal_mb": 996,
        "ansible_swapfree_mb": 1535,
        "ansible_swaptotal_mb": 1535
    },
    "changed": false

Understanding TCP & UDP

 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is stateful. This means it maintains a connection state between the communicating parties throughout the communication session. Stateful Nature of TCP Connection Establishment : TCP requires a connection to be established between the sender and receiver before data transmission can begin. This is done through a process called the three-way handshake. Three-Way Handshake : This process involves the exchange of three messages (SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK) to establish a reliable connection. Maintaining State : During the connection, TCP keeps track of various parameters to ensure reliable and ordered data delivery. Sequence Numbers : TCP assigns sequence numbers to each byte of data to ensure it is received in the correct order. Acknowledgements (ACKs) : The receiver sends acknowledgements for the received data packets. If an ACK is not received, the sender retransmits the data. Flow Control : TCP uses a window mechanism to control the rate of data tran...
