Synopsis

Requirements

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

  • 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 sensu.sensu_go 1.3.0

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 sensu.sensu_go 1.5.0

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 sensu.sensu_go 1.5.0

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:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

deregister

boolean

If the entity should be removed when it stops sending keepalive messages.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

deregistration_handler

string

The name of the handler to be called when an entity is deregistered.

entity_class

string

Entity class. Standard classes are proxy and agent, but you can use whatever you want.

Required if state is present.

labels

dictionary

Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.

last_seen

integer

Timestamp the entity was last seen, in seconds since the Unix epoch.

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"

redact

list / elements=string

List of items to redact from log messages. If a value is provided, it overwrites the default list of items to be redacted.

state

string

Target state of the Sensu object.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

subscriptions

list / elements=string

List of subscriptions for the entity.

system

dictionary

System information about the entity, such as operating system and platform. See https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/5.13/reference/entities/#system-attributes for more information.

user

string

Sensu RBAC username used by the entity. Agent entities require get, list, create, update, and delete permissions for events across all namespaces.
