fortinet.fortios.fortios_system_vdom_sflow module – Configure sFlow per VDOM to add or change the IP address and UDP port that FortiGate sFlow agents in this VDOM use to send sFlow datagrams to an sFlow collector in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

Note

This module is part of the fortinet.fortios collection (version 2.3.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install fortinet.fortios. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: fortinet.fortios.fortios_system_vdom_sflow.

New in fortinet.fortios 2.0.0

Synopsis

  • This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify system feature and vdom_sflow category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.0

Requirements

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

  • ansible>=2.9

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

access_token

string

Token-based authentication. Generated from GUI of Fortigate.

member_state

string

Add or delete a member under specified attribute path.

When member_state is specified, the state option is ignored.

Choices:

  • "present"

  • "absent"

system_vdom_sflow

dictionary

Configure sFlow per VDOM to add or change the IP address and UDP port that FortiGate sFlow agents in this VDOM use to send sFlow datagrams to an sFlow collector.

collector_ip

string

IP address of the sFlow collector that sFlow agents added to interfaces in this VDOM send sFlow datagrams to .

collector_port

integer

UDP port number used for sending sFlow datagrams (configure only if required by your sFlow collector or your network configuration) (0 - 65535).

interface

string

Specify outgoing interface to reach server. Source system.interface.name.

interface_select_method

string

Specify how to select outgoing interface to reach server.

Choices:

  • "auto"

  • "sdwan"

  • "specify"

source_ip

string

Source IP address for sFlow agent.

vdom_sflow

string

Enable/disable the sFlow configuration for the current VDOM.

Choices:

  • "enable"

  • "disable"

vdom

string

Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit.

Default: "root"

Note

  • Legacy fortiosapi has been deprecated, httpapi is the preferred way to run playbooks
