Synopsis ¶

Set and/or get members’ attributes of an Apache httpd 2.4 mod_proxy balancer pool, using HTTP POST and GET requests. The httpd mod_proxy balancer-member status page has to be enabled and accessible, as this module relies on parsing this page. This module supports ansible check_mode, and requires BeautifulSoup python module.

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
balancer_url_suffix string	Default: "/balancer-manager/"	Suffix of the balancer pool url required to access the balancer pool status page (e.g. balancer_vhost[:port]/balancer_url_suffix).
balancer_vhost string / required		(ipv4\|ipv6\|fqdn):port of the Apache httpd 2.4 mod_proxy balancer pool.
member_host string		(ipv4\|ipv6\|fqdn) of the balancer member to get or to set attributes to. Port number is autodetected and should not be specified here. If undefined, apache2_mod_proxy module will return a members list of dictionaries of all the current balancer pool members' attributes.
state string		Desired state of the member host. (absent\|disabled),drained,hot_standby,ignore_errors can be simultaneously invoked by separating them with a comma (e.g. state=drained,ignore_errors). Accepted state values: ["present", "absent", "enabled", "disabled", "drained", "hot_standby", "ignore_errors"]
tls boolean	Choices: no ← yes	Use https to access balancer management page.
validate_certs boolean	Choices: no yes ←	Validate ssl/tls certificates.
