Facts
Assuming a hostname of wiki.example.net is defined in your 'hosts' inventory; using ansible wiki.example.net -m setup you get a lot of information about the host (see https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_variables.html#information-discovered-from-systems-facts).
ansible wiki.example.net -m setup
