Synopsis

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

  • python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
action
string
    Choices:
  • allow
  • deny
Action to take with the event if the filter expressions match.
Required if state is present.
annotations
dictionary
Custom metadata fields with fewer restrictions, as key/value pairs.
These are preserved by Sensu but not accessible as tokens or identifiers, and are mainly intended for use with external tools.
auth
dictionary
Authentication parameters. Can define each of them with ENV as well.
api_key
string
added in 1.3.0 of sensu.sensu_go
The API key that should be used when authenticating. If this is not set, the value of the SENSU_API_KEY environment variable will be checked.
This replaces auth.user and auth.password parameters.
For more information about the API key, refer to the official Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/use-apikey-feature/.
ca_path
path
added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go
Path to the CA bundle that should be used to validate the backend certificate.
If this parameter is not set, module will use the CA bundle that python is using.
It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_CA_PATH environment variable.
password
string
Default:
"P@ssw0rd!"
The Sensu user's password. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_PASSWORD environment variable will be checked.
This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
url
string
Default:
"http://localhost:8080"
Location of the Sensu backend API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_URL environment variable will be checked.
user
string
Default:
"admin"
The username to use for connecting to the Sensu API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_USER environment variable will be checked.
This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
verify
boolean
added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
Flag that controls the certificate validation.
If you are using self-signed certificates, you can set this parameter to false.
ONLY USE THIS PARAMETER IN DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS! In you use self-signed certificates in production, see the auth.ca_path parameter.
It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_VERIFY environment variable.
expressions
list / elements=string
Filter expressions to be compared with event data.
Required if state is present.
labels
dictionary
Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.
name
string / required
The Sensu resource's name. This name (in combination with the namespace where applicable) uniquely identifies the resource that Ansible operates on.
If the resource with selected name already exists, Ansible module will update it to match the specification in the task.
Consult the name metadata attribute specification in the upstream docs on https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/ for more details about valid names and other restrictions.
namespace
string
Default:
"default"
RBAC namespace to operate in. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_NAMESPACE environment variable will be used.
runtime_assets
list / elements=string
Assets to be applied to the filter's execution context. JavaScript files in the lib directory of the asset will be evaluated.
state
string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Target state of the Sensu object.
