Synopsis

• Configures Network Firewall related settings of the log profile.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
log_format_delimiter string	Specifies the delimiter string when using a log_storage_format of field-list. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default value of , (the comma character) is used. This option is valid when the log_storage_format is set to field-list. It is ignored otherwise. Depending on the delimiter used, it may be necessary to wrap the delimiter in quotes to prevent YAML errors from occurring. The special character $ is reserved for internal use, and will raise an error if used. The maximum length allowed for this parameter is 31 characters.
log_ip_errors dictionary	Modifies log settings for logging of IP error packets.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of IP error packets. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of IP error packets. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_matches_accept_rule dictionary	Modifies log settings for ACL rules configured with an “accept” or “accept decisively” action.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with an “accept” or “accept decisively” action. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with an “accept” or “accept decisively” action. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_matches_drop_rule dictionary	Modifies log settings for ACL rules configured with a drop action.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a drop action. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a drop action. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_matches_reject_rule dictionary	Modifies log settings for ACL rules configured with a reject action.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a reject action. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a reject action. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_message_fields list / elements=string	Specifies a set of fields to be logged. This option is valid when the log_storage_format is set to field-list. It is ignored otherwise. The order of the list is important, as the server displays the selected traffic items in the log sequentially according to it. Choices: "acl_policy_name" "acl_policy_type" "acl_rule_name" "action" "bigip_hostname" "context_name" "context_type" "date_time" "dest_fqdn" "dest_geo" "dest_ip" "dest_port" "drop_reason" "management_ip_address" "protocol" "route_domain" "sa_translation_pool" "sa_translation_type" "source_fqdn" "source_user" "src_geo" "src_ip" "src_port" "translated_dest_ip" "translated_dest_port" "translated_ip_protocol" "translated_route_domain" "translated_src_ip" "translated_src_port" "translated_vlan" "vlan"
log_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for Network events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.
log_storage_format string	Specifies the type of the storage format. When creating a new log profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is none. When field-list, specifies the log displays only the items you specify in the log_message_fields list with log_format_delimiter as the delimiter between the items. When none, the messages will be logged in the default format, which is "management_ip_address", "bigip_hostname","context_type", "context_name","src_geo","src_ip", "dest_geo","dest_ip","src_port", "dest_port","vlan","protocol","route_domain", "translated_src_ip", "translated_dest_ip", "translated_src_port","translated_dest_port", "translated_vlan","translated_ip_protocol", "translated_route_domain", "acl_policy_type", "acl_policy_name","acl_rule_name","action", "drop_reason","sa_translation_type", "sa_translation_pool","flow_id", "source_user", "source_fqdn","dest_fqdn". Choices: "field-list" "none"
log_tcp_errors dictionary	Modifies log settings for the logging of TCP error packets.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of TCP error packets. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of TCP error packets. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_tcp_events dictionary	Modifies the log settings for logging of TCP events on the client side.
enabled boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of TCP events on the client side. Only Established and Closed states of a TCP session are logged if this option is enabled. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	This option sets rate limits for the logging of TCP events on the client side. This option is effective only if logging of this message type is enabled.
log_translation_fields boolean	This option enables or disables the logging of translated (i.e server side) fields in ACL match and TCP events. Translated fields include (but are not limited to) source address/port, destination address/port, IP protocol, route domain, and VLAN. Choices: false true
partition string	Device partition to create log profile on. This parameter is also used when specifying names for log publishers, unless log publisher names are in fullpath format. Default: "Common"
profile_name string / required	Specifies the name of the AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager) log profile to be updated.
provider dictionary added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0	A dict object containing connection details.
auth_provider string	Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
no_f5_teem boolean	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF. Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing. Choices: false ← (default) true
password aliases: pass, pwd string / required	The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port integer	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. Default: 443
timeout integer	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
transport string	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: "rest" ← (default)
user string / required	The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER.
validate_certs boolean	If no, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS. Choices: false true ← (default)
rate_limit string	Defines a rate limit for all combined network firewall log messages per second. Beyond this rate limit, log messages are not logged. To specify an indefinite rate, use the value indefinite. If specifying a numeric rate, the value must be between 1 and 4294967295.
state string	When state is present, ensures the resource exists. The only built-in profile that allows updating network log settings is global-network, attempts to do so on other built-in profiles will be ignored. When state is absent, ensures that the resource is removed. The absent state is ignored for global-network log profile. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"

Notes

Note

• For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.

• Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.

• The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
