Dumpall

Dumpall is a tool that will collect all remote variables and can optionally save them to a location on the host machine.

This tool is based on the great work by Lester Wade!

Example Playbook

Without Host Destination: If you don't specify a host destination, the dump file will be created at /tmp/ansible.all on the remote server:
```
- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - f500.dumpall
```
With Host Destination: If you include a host destination, the dump file will be saved as /examine/ansible.all on the host machine. (The dump file on the remote server will be deleted.)
```
- hosts: servers
  roles:
     - { role: f500.dumpall, dumpall_host_destination: /examine/ }
```

If you set flat_mode to false, the local filename will include the full path of the guest destination, starting with the hostname of the current play. For more info, check the Ansible fetch module.
