We should have a plugin that accepts all the data from a simple ansible facts scan by device. Within the Plugin, each field should utilize a checkbox, which would enable/disable it in the Device view. To take things a little further, we could have a check box that determines hosts, frquency of scans etc. This could generate the ansible-script and cron job, for the admin to add into device that would run the script

Use case
Say I need to do an inventory of systems and need to know several data points, BIOS, OS, RAM, etc. In most environments, this info is static and once a month a refresh scan would catch the changes. However, in a dynamic cluster where there are lots of changes, knowing what a given system is configured in is valuable. In research clusters/labs we could the report every 12 hours. |
just to add my opinion on Ansible Facts Plugin, there is a opensource project nbentoumi/ansibledb where you can have this kind on inventory with facters collected from the host
