Requirements 

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

python >= 2.7

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
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	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. Default: “P@ssw0rd!”
url string	Location of the Sensu backend API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_URL environment variable will be checked. Default: “http://localhost:8080”
user string	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. Default: “admin”
verify boolean added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go	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. Choices: no yes ← (default)
groups_prefix string	The prefix added to all LDAP groups.
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.
servers list / elements=dictionary	An array of LDAP servers for your directory. Required if state is `present`.
binding dictionary	The LDAP account that performs user and group lookups. If your sever supports anonymous binding, you can omit the user_dn or password attributes to query the directory without credentials.
password string / required	Password for the user_dn account. If your sever supports anonymous binding, you can omit this attribute.
user_dn string / required	The LDAP account that performs user and group lookups. If your sever supports anonymous binding, you can omit this attribute.
client_cert_file string	Path to the certificate that should be sent to the server if requested.
client_key_file string	Path to the key file associated with the client_cert_file. Required if client_cert_file is present.
group_search dictionary	Search configuration for groups.
attribute string	Used for comparing result entries. Default: “member”
base_dn string / required	Which part of the directory tree to search.
name_attribute string	Represents the attribute to use as the entry name. Default: “cn”
object_class string	Identifies the class of objects returned in the search result. Default: “groupOfNames”
host string / required	LDAP server IP address.
insecure boolean	Skips SSL certificate verification when set to true. Choices: no ← (default) yes
port integer	LDAP server port.
security string	Encryption type to be used for the connection to the LDAP server. Choices: insecure tls ← (default) starttls
trusted_ca_file string	Path to an alternative CA bundle file.
user_search dictionary	Search configuration for users.
attribute string	Used for comparing result entries. Default: “uid”
base_dn string / required	Which part of the directory tree to search.
name_attribute string	Represents the attribute to use as the entry name. Default: “cn”
object_class string	Identifies the class of objects returned in the search result. Default: “person”
state string	Target state of the Sensu object. Choices: present ← (default) absent
username_prefix string	The prefix added to all LDAP usernames.
