Parameters

Parameter

Comments

append

boolean

added in 1.25.0 of t_systems_mms.icinga_director

Do not overwrite the whole object but instead append the defined properties.

Note - Appending to existing vars, imports or any other list/dict is not possible. You have to overwrite the complete list/dict.

Note - Variables that are set by default will also be applied, even if not set.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes

client_cert

path

PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication.

This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required.

client_key

path

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication.

If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.

force

aliases: thirsty

boolean

If yes do not get a cached copy.

Alias thirsty has been deprecated and will be removed in 2.13.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

force_basic_auth

boolean

Credentials specified with url_username and url_password should be passed in HTTP Header.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

host

string

The hostname/IP address of the remote Icinga 2 instance.

http_agent

string

Header to identify as, generally appears in web server logs.

Default: “ansible-httpget”

log_duration

string

Duration for keeping replay logs on connection loss. Defaults to 1d (86400 seconds). Attribute is specified in seconds. If log_duration is set to 0, replaying logs is disabled. You could also specify the value in human readable format like 10m for 10 minutes or 1h for one hour.

object_name

aliases: name

string / required

Icinga object name for this endpoint.

This is usually a fully qualified host name but it could basically be any kind of string.

To make things easier for your users we strongly suggest to use meaningful names for templates.

For example “generic-endpoint” is ugly, “Standard Linux Server” is easier to understand.

port

integer

The service name/port of the remote Icinga 2 instance. Defaults to 5665.

state

string

Apply feature state.

Choices:

  • present ← (default)

  • absent

url

string / required

HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL in the form (http|https|ftp)://[user[:pass]]@host.domain[:port]/path

url_password

string

The password for use in HTTP basic authentication.

If the url_username parameter is not specified, the url_password parameter will not be used.

url_username

string

The username for use in HTTP basic authentication.

This parameter can be used without url_password for sites that allow empty passwords

use_gssapi

boolean

added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin

Use GSSAPI to perform the authentication, typically this is for Kerberos or Kerberos through Negotiate authentication.

Requires the Python library gssapi to be installed.

Credentials for GSSAPI can be specified with url_username/url_password or with the GSSAPI env var KRB5CCNAME that specified a custom Kerberos credential cache.

NTLM authentication is not supported even if the GSSAPI mech for NTLM has been installed.

Choices:

  • no ← (default)

  • yes

use_proxy

boolean

If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.

  • yes ← (default)

validate_certs

boolean

If no, SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • no

  • yes ← (default)

zone

string

The name of the zone this endpoint is part of.
