For instance:

$ ansible perth -m setup

ansible - obviously the command
perth the host group when using the default ansible host inventory /etc/ansible/hosts
-m for the module
setup - the actual ansible module

This will produce a list of facts for the group of hosts defines in perth.

If you were using a host inventory in a different locaton you can use the -i option to specify the path

For example:

$ ansible perth -i /home/ansible/myhosts -m setup

If you wanted all hosts defined in /home/ansible/myhosts, replace perth with "all"

$ ansible all -i /home/ansible/myhosts -m setup
