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)
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	RBAC namespace to operate in. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_NAMESPACE environment variable will be used. Default: “default”
rules list / elements=dictionary	Rules that the role applies. Must be non-empty if state is present.
resource_names list / elements=string	Names of specific resources the rule has permission to access. Note that for the create verb, this argument will not be taken into account when enforcing RBAC, even if it is provided.
resources list / elements=string / required	Types of resources the rule has permission to access.
verbs list / elements=string / required	Permissions to be applied by the rule. Choices: get list create update delete
state string	Target state of the Sensu object. Choices: present ← (default) absent
