Hi,
I am struggling to find documentation on how to format my Ansible task to limit the output of gather-subset
protocols/nfs/connected-clients subset to only one volume.
I tried with owning resource - volume_name, with parameter volume_name, with query volume_name but none of the limited the output or failed because of bad parameter.
I have Ansible 2.10.5, netapp.ontap 21.20.0, python 3.6.8.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hi @hybrid cloud ,
when using na_ontap_rest_info (please avoid using na_ontap_info), you can simply check the REST API documentation - on box (https://<cluster_name/ip>/docs/api) or an offline copy on DevNet:
https://devnet.netapp.com/restapi.php
https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2885799/html/index.html#/NAS/nfs_clients_get
Then you can use "parameters" parameter to query for a particular volume ("volume.name" in this case). Try something like this:
- name: Get connected NFS clients for volume netapp.ontap.na_ontap_rest_info: gather_subset: - "protocols/nfs/connected-clients" parameters: volume: name: "<put in vol name here>" use_python_keys: true <<: *input # hostname, user, password aso... register: ontap_nfs_clients

Oh, ok, so volume.name becomes 2 levels... Volume: name: ...
That is described nowhere, would be good to put an example like this in the documentation...
Thanks, will try.

Got it, I had to write
parameters:
volume.name: "volname"
svm.name: "svmname"
And then it worked.

Perfect 🙂

@hybrid cloud So the rest_info module maps to each of the rest api get's (https://library.netapp.com/ecmdocs/ECMLP2886775/html/#/NAS/nfs_clients_get).
The structure is going to be depended on how to the REST API end point is set up. Anything that appear like volume.name with a dot in the name is going to be a multi level like that for each dot.
