bigip_firewall_log_profile_network – Configures Network Firewall related settings of the log profile

New in version 2.9.

Synopsis

• Configures Network Firewall related settings of the log profile.

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	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) will be used. This option is valid when the log_storage_format is set to field-list. It will be 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 $ should not be used, and will raise an error if used, as it is reserved for internal use. The maximum length allowed for this parameter is 31 characters.
log_ip_errors dictionary			Modify log settings for logging of IP error packets.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of IP error packets.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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			Modify log settings for ACL rules configured with an "accept" or "accept decisively" action.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with an "accept" or "accept decisively" action.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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			Modify log settings for ACL rules configured with a drop action.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a drop action.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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			Modify log settings for ACL rules configured with a reject action.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of packets that match ACL rules configured with a reject action.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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		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	Specifies a set of fields to be logged. This option is valid when the log_storage_format is set to field-list. It will be ignored otherwise. The order of the list is important as the server displays the selected traffic items in the log sequentially according to it.
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 log publisher is inferred from partition module parameter.
log_storage_format string		Choices: field-list none	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 that 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".
log_tcp_errors dictionary			Modify log settings for logging of TCP error packets.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of TCP error packets.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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			Modify log settings for logging of TCP events on the client side.
	enabled boolean	Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable 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.
	rate_limit integer		This option is used to set 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		Choices: no yes	This option is used to enable or disable 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.
partition string		Default: "Common"	Device partition to create log profile on. Parameter also used when specifying names for log publishers, unless log publisher names are in fullpath format.
profile_name string / required			Specifies the name of the AFM log profile to be updated.
provider dictionary added in 2.5			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.
	password string / required		The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD. aliases: pass, pwd
	server string / required		The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
	server_port integer	Default: 443	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT.
	ssh_keyfile path		Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE.
	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	Choices: cli rest ←	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device.
	user string / required		The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER.
	validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	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.
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		Choices: present ← absent	When state is present, ensures the resource exists. 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 resource is removed. The absent state is ignored for global-network log profile.

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 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.
