Synopsis

  • Initialises a MongoDB replicaset in a new deployment.

  • Validates the replicaset name for existing deployments.

  • Advanced replicaset member configuration possible (see examples).

Requirements

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

  • pymongo

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

arbiter_at_index

integer

Identifies the position of the member in the array that is an arbiter.

auth_mechanism

string

Authentication type.

Choices:

  • SCRAM-SHA-256

  • SCRAM-SHA-1

  • MONGODB-X509

  • GSSAPI

  • PLAIN

chaining_allowed

boolean

When settings.chaining_allowed=true, the replicaset allows secondary members to replicate from other secondary members.

When settings.chaining_allowed=false, secondaries can replicate only from the primary.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

connection_options

list / elements=raw

Additional connection options.

Supply as a list of dicts or strings containing key value pairs seperated with ‘=’.

debug

boolean

Add additonal info for debug.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

election_timeout_millis

integer

The time limit in milliseconds for detecting when a replicaset’s primary is unreachable.

Default: 10000

force

boolean

Only relevant when reconfigure = true.

Specify true to force the available replica set members to accept the new configuration.

Force reconfiguration can result in unexpected or undesired behavior, including rollback of “majority” committed writes.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

heartbeat_timeout_secs

integer

Number of seconds that the replicaset members wait for a successful heartbeat from each other.

If a member does not respond in time, other members mark the delinquent member as inaccessible.

The setting only applies when using protocol_version=0. When using protocol_version=1 the relevant setting is settings.election_timeout_millis.

Default: 10

login_database

string

The database where login credentials are stored.

Default: “admin”

login_host

string

The host running MongoDB instance to login to.

Default: “localhost”

login_password

string

The password used to authenticate with.

Required when login_user is specified.

login_port

integer

The MongoDB server port to login to.

Default: 27017

login_user

string

The MongoDB user to login with.

Required when login_password is specified.

max_time_ms

integer

Specifies a cumulative time limit in milliseconds for processing the replicaset reconfiguration.

members

list / elements=raw

Yaml list consisting of the replicaset members.

Csv string will also be accepted i.e. mongodb1:27017,mongodb2:27017,mongodb3:27017.

A dictionary can also be used to specify advanced replicaset member options.

If a port number is not provided then 27017 is assumed.

protocol_version

integer

Version of the replicaset election protocol.

Choices:

  • 0

  • 1

Default: 1

reconfigure

boolean

This feature is currently experimental. Please test your scenario thoroughly.

Consult the integration test file for supported scenarios - [Integration tests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mongodb/tree/master/tests/integration/targets/mongodb_replicaset/tasks). See files prefixed with 330.

Whether to perform replicaset reconfiguration actions.

Only relevant when the replicaset already exists.

Only one member should be removed or added per invocation.

Members should be specific as either all strings or all dicts when reconfiguring.

Currently no support for replicaset settings document changes.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

replica_set

string

Replicaset name.

Default: “rs0”

ssl

boolean

Whether to use an SSL connection when connecting to the database.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

ssl_ca_certs

string

The ssl_ca_certs option takes a path to a CA file.

ssl_cert_reqs

string

Specifies whether a certificate is required from the other side of the connection, and whether it will be validated if provided.

Choices:

  • CERT_NONE

  • CERT_OPTIONAL

  • CERT_REQUIRED ← (default)

ssl_certfile

string

Present a client certificate using the ssl_certfile option.

ssl_crlfile

string

The ssl_crlfile option takes a path to a CRL file.

ssl_keyfile

string

Private key for the client certificate.

ssl_pem_passphrase

string

Passphrase to decrypt encrypted private keys.

validate

boolean

Performs some basic validation on the provided replicaset config.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)
