dvm_cmd_discover_device dictionary	The top level parameters set.
device dictionary	Device.
adm_pass string	Adm pass.
adm_usr string	Adm usr.
ip string	Ip.
enable_log boolean	Enable/Disable logging for task. Choices: false ← (default) true
forticloud_access_token string	Authenticate Ansible client with forticloud API access token.
rc_failed list / elements=integer	The rc codes list with which the conditions to fail will be overriden.
rc_succeeded list / elements=integer	The rc codes list with which the conditions to succeed will be overriden.
workspace_locking_adom string	The adom to lock for FortiManager running in workspace mode, the value can be global and others including root.

Notes

Note

• Starting in version 2.4.0, all input arguments are named using the underscore naming convention (snake_case). Please change the arguments such as “var-name” to “var_name”. Old argument names are still available yet you will receive deprecation warnings. You can ignore this warning by setting deprecation_warnings=False in ansible.cfg.

• Running in workspace locking mode is supported in this FortiManager module, the top level parameters workspace_locking_adom and workspace_locking_timeout help do the work.

• Normally, running one module can fail when a non-zero rc is returned. you can also override the conditions to fail or succeed with parameters rc_failed and rc_succeeded
