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.

  • Not all parameters are required for a selector.

  • This module is exclusivly for FortiOS monitor API.

  • The result of API request is stored in results.

Examples

- hosts: fortigate03
  connection: httpapi
  collections:
  - fortinet.fortios
  vars:
   vdom: "root"
   ansible_httpapi_use_ssl: yes
   ansible_httpapi_validate_certs: no
   ansible_httpapi_port: 443
  tasks:

  - name: Activate FortiToken
    fortios_monitor:
       vdom: "root"
       access_token: "<fortios_access_token>"
       selector: 'activate.user.fortitoken'
       params:
           tokens: '<token string>'

  - name: Reboot This Device
    fortios_monitor:
       vdom: "root"
       access_token: "<fortios_access_token>"
       selector: 'reboot.system.os'
