How to get information from a running virtual machine
*****************************************************

Introduction
============
This section shows you how to collection information from a running virtual machine.
Scenario requirements
=====================
You've already followed :ref:`vmware_rest_run_a_vm` and your virtual machine runs VMware Tools.
How to collect information
==========================
In this example, we use the ``vcenter_vm_guest_*`` module to collect information about the associated resources.
Filesystem
----------
Here we use ``vcenter_vm_guest_localfilesystem_info`` to retrieve the details
about the filesystem of the guest. In this example we also use a ``retries``
loop. The VMware Tools may take a bit of time to start and by doing so, we give
the VM a bit more time.
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_filesystem_information.task.yaml
Result
______
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_filesystem_information.result.json
Guest identity
--------------
You can use ``vcenter_vm_guest_identity_info`` to get details like the OS family or the hostname of the running VM.
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_identity_information.task.yaml
Result
______
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_identity_information.result.json
Network
-------
``vcenter_vm_guest_networking_info`` will return the OS network configuration.
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_networking_information.task.yaml
Result
______
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_networking_information.result.json
Network interfaces
------------------
``vcenter_vm_guest_networking_interfaces_info`` will return a list of NIC configurations.
See also :ref:`vmware_rest_attach_a_network`.
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_network_interfaces_information.task.yaml
Result
______
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_network_interfaces_information.result.json
Network routes
--------------
Use ``vcenter_vm_guest_networking_routes_info`` to explore the route table of your virtual machine.
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_network_routes_information.task.yaml
Result
______
.. literalinclude:: task_outputs/Get_guest_network_routes_information.result.json
