List facts and state of a host

ansible  -m setup                            # All facts for one host
ansible  -m setup -a 'filter=ansible_eth*'   # Only ansible fact for one host
ansible all -m setup -a 'filter=facter_*'          # Only facter facts but for all hosts

Save facts to per-host files in /tmp/facts

ansible all -m setup --tree /tmp/facts
