Parameters¶
Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
aws_access_key

description
-
|
A description of the rule
|
|
ec2_url
string
|
Url to use to connect to EC2 or your Eucalyptus cloud (by default the module will use EC2 endpoints). Ignored for modules where region is required. Must be specified for all other modules if region is not used. If not set then the value of the EC2_URL environment variable, if any, is used.
|
|
event_pattern
-
|
A string pattern (in valid JSON format) that is used to match against incoming events to determine if the rule should be triggered
|

name
-
/ required
|
The name of the rule you are creating, updating or deleting. No spaces or special characters allowed (i.e. must match
[\.\-_A-Za-z0-9]+ ) |
|
profile
string
|
Uses a boto profile. Only works with boto >= 2.24.0.
|
|
region
string
|
The AWS region to use. If not specified then the value of the AWS_REGION or EC2_REGION environment variable, if any, is used. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#ec2_region
aliases: aws_region, ec2_region |
|
role_arn
-
|
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IAM role associated with the rule
|
|
schedule_expression
-
|
A cron or rate expression that defines the schedule the rule will trigger on. For example,
cron(0 20 * * ? * ), rate(5 minutes ) |
|
security_token
string
|
AWS STS security token. If not set then the value of the AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN or EC2_SECURITY_TOKEN environment variable is used.
aliases: access_token |
|
state
-
|
|
Whether the rule is present (and enabled), disabled, or absent
|
targets
-
|
A dictionary array of targets to add to or update for the rule, in the form
{ id: [string], arn: [string], role_arn: [string], input: [valid JSON string], input_path: [valid JSONPath string], ecs_parameters: {task_definition_arn: [string], task_count: [int]}} . id [required] is the unique target assignment ID. arn (required) is the Amazon Resource Name associated with the target. role_arn (optional) is The Amazon Resource Name of the IAM role to be used for this target when the rule is triggered. input (optional) is a JSON object that will override the event data when passed to the target. input_path (optional) is a JSONPath string (e.g. $.detail ) that specifies the part of the event data to be passed to the target. If neither input nor input_path is specified, then the entire event is passed to the target in JSON form. task_definition_arn [optional] is ecs task definition arn. task_count [optional] is ecs task count. |
|
validate_certs
boolean
|
|
When set to "no", SSL certificates will not be validated for boto versions >= 2.6.0.
|
Notes¶
Note
- A rule must contain at least an event_pattern or schedule_expression. A rule can have both an event_pattern and a schedule_expression, in which case the rule will trigger on matching events as well as on a schedule.
- When specifying targets, input and input_path are mutually-exclusive and optional parameters.
- If parameters are not set within the module, the following environment variables can be used in decreasing order of precedence
AWS_URL
orEC2_URL
,AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID
orAWS_ACCESS_KEY
orEC2_ACCESS_KEY
,AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY
orAWS_SECRET_KEY
orEC2_SECRET_KEY
,AWS_SECURITY_TOKEN
orEC2_SECURITY_TOKEN
,AWS_REGION
orEC2_REGION
- Ansible uses the boto configuration file (typically ~/.boto) if no credentials are provided. See https://boto.readthedocs.io/en/latest/boto_config_tut.html
AWS_REGION
orEC2_REGION
can be typically be used to specify the AWS region, when required, but this can also be configured in the boto config file

name: MyCronTask
