Parameters

Parameter	Comments
ad_user string	Active Directory username. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
adfs_authority_url string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Azure AD authority url. Use when authenticating with Username/password, and has your own ADFS authority.
api_profile string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Selects an API profile to use when communicating with Azure services. Default value of latest is appropriate for public clouds; future values will allow use with Azure Stack. Default: "latest"
auth_source string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Controls the source of the credentials to use for authentication. Can also be set via the ANSIBLE_AZURE_AUTH_SOURCE environment variable. When set to auto (the default) the precedence is module parameters -> env -> credential_file -> cli. When set to env, the credentials will be read from the environment variables When set to credential_file, it will read the profile from ~/.azure/credentials. When set to cli, the credentials will be sources from the Azure CLI profile. subscription_id or the environment variable AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID can be used to identify the subscription ID if more than one is present otherwise the default az cli subscription is used. When set to msi, the host machine must be an azure resource with an enabled MSI extension. subscription_id or the environment variable AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID can be used to identify the subscription ID if the resource is granted access to more than one subscription, otherwise the first subscription is chosen. The msi was added in Ansible 2.6. Choices: "auto" ← (default) "cli" "credential_file" "env" "msi"
cert_validation_mode string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints. By default, all modules will validate the server certificate, but when an HTTPS proxy is in use, or against Azure Stack, it may be necessary to disable this behavior by passing ignore. Can also be set via credential file profile or the AZURE_CERT_VALIDATION environment variable. Choices: "ignore" "validate"
client_id string	Azure client ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
cloud_environment string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1	For cloud environments other than the US public cloud, the environment name (as defined by Azure Python SDK, eg, AzureChinaCloud, AzureUSGovernment), or a metadata discovery endpoint URL (required for Azure Stack). Can also be set via credential file profile or the AZURE_CLOUD_ENVIRONMENT environment variable. Default: "AzureCloud"
log_mode string	Parent argument.
log_path string	Parent argument.
name string	Limit results to a single diagnostic setting within a resource.
password string	Active Directory user password. Use when authenticating with an Active Directory user rather than service principal.
profile string	Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file.
resource any / required	The resource which will be monitored with the diagnostic setting. It can be a string containing the resource ID. It can be a dictionary containing name, type, resource_group, and optionally subscription_id. name. The resource name. type. The resource type including namespace, such as ‘Microsoft.Network/virtualNetworks’. resource_group. The resource group containing the resource. subscription_id. The subscription ID containing the resource. If none is specified, the credential’s subscription ID will be used.
secret string	Azure client secret. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
subscription_id string	Your Azure subscription Id.
tenant string	Azure tenant ID. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.
thumbprint string added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	The thumbprint of the private key specified in x509_certificate_path. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal. Required if x509_certificate_path is defined.
x509_certificate_path path added in azure.azcollection 1.14.0	Path to the X509 certificate used to create the service principal in PEM format. The certificate must be appended to the private key. Use when authenticating with a Service Principal.

Notes

Note

• For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with az login.

• Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.

• To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.

• To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.

• Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
