How to export the current settings of a module into a playbook?

We are excited to introduce a powerful module fortiswitch_export_config_playbook to you. It’s used to convert the current settings of a module into a executable playbook.

The following example will show you how fortiswitch_export_config_playbook module works.

Export the current settings of an interface named internal:

- hosts: fortiswitch01
  connection: httpapi
  collections:
    - fortinet.fortiswitch
  vars:
    ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
    ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no
    ansible_httpapi_port: 443
  tasks:
  - name: Export multiple palybooks
    fortiswitch_export_config_playbook:
      selectors:
      - selector: system_interface
        params:
          name: "internal"
      output_path: "./"

There will be a new generated playbook called system_interface_playbook.yml at the current path. Feel free to assign a output_path where you want the playbook is saved.
