Supported keys and values are subject to change without notice. Unknown keys are ignored.

force_ontap_version

string

added in netapp.ontap 21.23.0

Override the cluster ONTAP version when using REST.

The behavior is undefined if the version does not match the target cluster.

This is provided as a work-around when the cluster version cannot be read because of permission issues. See https://github.com/ansible-collections/netapp.ontap/wiki/Known-issues.

This should be in the form 9.10 or 9.10.1 with each element being an integer number.

When use_rest is set to auto, this may force a switch to ZAPI based on the version and platform capabilities.

Ignored with ZAPI.

guarantee

boolean

Indicates whether there is a strict Guarantee of Auditing.

This option requires ONTAP 9.10.1 or later.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

hostname

string / required

The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.

http_port

integer

Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port

https

boolean

Enable and disable https.

Ignored when using REST as only https is supported.

Ignored when using SSL certificate authentication as it requires SSL.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

key_filepath

string

added in netapp.ontap 20.6.0

path to SSL client key file.

log

dictionary

Specifies events for which auditing is enabled on the SVM.

format

string

This option describes the format in which the logs are generated by consolidation process. Possible values are,

xml - Data ONTAP-specific XML log format

evtx - Microsoft Windows EVTX log format

Choices:

  • "xml"

  • "evtx"

retention

dictionary

This option describes the count and time to retain the audit log file.

count

integer

Determines how many audit log files to retain before rotating the oldest log file out.

This is mutually exclusive with duration.

duration

string

Specifies an ISO-8601 format date and time to retain the audit log file.

The audit log files are deleted once they reach the specified date/time.

This is mutually exclusive with count.

rotation

dictionary

Audit event log files are rotated when they reach a configured threshold log size or are on a configured schedule.

When an event log file is rotated, the scheduled consolidation task first renames the active converted file to a time-stamped archive file, and then creates a new active converted event log file.

size

integer

Rotates logs based on log size in bytes.

Default value is 104857600.

log_path

string

The audit log destination path where consolidated audit logs are stored.

ontapi

integer

The ontap api version to use

password

aliases: pass

string

Password for the specified user.

state

string

Whether the specified vserver audit configuration should exist or not.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

use_rest

string

Whether to use REST or ZAPI.

always – will always use the REST API if the module supports REST. A warning is issued if the module does not support REST. An error is issued if a module option is not supported in REST.

never – will always use ZAPI if the module supports ZAPI. An error may be issued if a REST option is not supported in ZAPI.

auto – will try to use the REST API if the module supports REST and modules options are supported. Reverts to ZAPI otherwise.

Default: "auto"

username

aliases: user

string

This can be a Cluster-scoped or SVM-scoped account, depending on whether a Cluster-level or SVM-level API is required.

For more information, please read the documentation https://mysupport.netapp.com/NOW/download/software/nmsdk/9.4/.

Two authentication methods are supported

  1. basic authentication, using username and password,

  2. SSL certificate authentication, using a ssl client cert file, and optionally a private key file.

To use a certificate, the certificate must have been installed in the ONTAP cluster, and cert authentication must have been enabled.

validate_certs

boolean

If set to no, the SSL certificates will not be validated.

This should only set to False used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

vserver

string / required

Specifies name of the Vserver.

Notes

Note

  • This module supports REST only.

  • At least one event should be enabled.

  • No other fields can be specified when enabled is specified for modify.

  • The modules prefixed with na_ontap are built to support the ONTAP storage platform.

  • https is enabled by default and recommended. To enable http on the cluster you must run the following commands ‘set -privilege advanced;’ ‘system services web modify -http-enabled true;’
