aggregate_dynamic_ratios
string
|
Choices:
- none
- average-nodes
- sum-nodes
- average-members
- sum-members
|
Specifies how the system combines the module values to create the proportion (score) for the load balancing operation.
The score represents the module's estimated capacity for handing traffic.
Averaged values are appropriate for downstream Web Accelerator or Application Security Manager (ASM) virtual servers.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not specified, the default of none is used, meaning the system does not use the scores in the load balancing operation.
When none , specifies the monitor ignores the nodes and pool member scores.
When average-nodes , specifies the system averages the dynamic ratios on the nodes associated with the monitor's target virtual servers and returns that average as the virtual servers' score.
When sum-nodes , specifies the system adds together the scores of the nodes associated with the monitor's target virtual servers and uses that value in the load balancing operation.
When average-members , specifies the system averages the dynamic ratios on the pool members associated with the monitor's target virtual servers and returns that average as the virtual servers' score.
When sum-members , specifies the system adds together the scores of the pool members associated with the monitor's target virtual servers and uses that value in the load balancing operation.
|
ignore_down_response
boolean
|
|
Specifies the monitor allows more than one probe attempt per interval.
When yes , specifies the monitor ignores down responses for the duration of the monitor timeout. Once the monitor timeout is reached without the system receiving an up response, the system marks the object down.
When no , specifies the monitor immediately marks an object down when it receives a down response.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, the default value will be no .
|
interval
integer
|
|
Specifies, in seconds, the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check when either the resource is down or the status of the resource is unknown.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, the default value will be 30 . This value must be less than the timeout value.
|
ip
string
|
|
IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value will be '*'.
|
name
string
/ required
|
|
Name of the monitor.
|
parent
string
|
Default:
"/Common/bigip"
|
The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed. By default, this value is the bigip parent on the Common partition.
|
partition
string
|
Default:
"Common"
|
Device partition to manage resources on.
|
port
string
|
|
Port address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value will be '*'. Note that if specifying an IP address, you must use a value between 1 and 65535.
|
provider
dictionary
added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules
|
|
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_TEEM .
|
|
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 .
|
|
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.
|
|
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
|
|
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 .
|
state
string
|
Choices:
present ←
- absent
|
When present , ensures the monitor exists.
When absent , ensures the monitor is removed.
|
timeout
integer
|
|
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to respond to the monitor request.
If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up.
If the target does not respond within the set time period, it is considered down.
When this value is set to 0 (zero), the system uses the interval from the parent monitor.
When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, the default value will be 90 .
