• python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
annotations dictionary	Custom metadata fields with fewer restrictions, as key/value pairs. These are preserved by Sensu but not accessible as tokens or identifiers, and are mainly intended for use with external tools.
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)
filters list / elements=string	List of filters to use when determining whether to pass the check result to this handler.
host string	The socket host address (IP or hostname) to connect to. Required if state is present.
labels dictionary	Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.
mutator string	Mutator to call for transforming the check result before passing it to this handler.
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”
port integer	The socket port to connect to. Required if state is present.
state string	Target state of the Sensu object. Choices: present ← (default) absent
timeout integer	Timeout for handler execution.
type string	The handler type. Required if state is present. Choices: tcp udp
