selectors

list / elements=string

A list of selectors. if parameter selector not specified, the module will use selectors.

sorters

list / elements=string

A list of expressions to sort the returned results.

The items of the list are in ascending order with operator ampersand.

One item itself could be in decending order with a comma inside.

vdom

string

Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit.

Default: “root”

Notes

Note

  • Different selector may have different parameters, users are expected to look up them for a specific selector.

  • For some selectors, the objects are global, no params are allowed to appear.

  • If params is empty a non-unique object, the whole object list is returned.

  • This module has support for all configuration API, excluding any monitor API.

  • The result of API request is stored in results as a list.
