community.mongodb.mongodb_replicaset module – Initialises a MongoDB replicaset.

Note

This module is part of the community.mongodb collection (version 1.6.3).

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 community.mongodb. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: community.mongodb.mongodb_replicaset.

New in community.mongodb 1.0.0

Synopsis 

Initialises a MongoDB replicaset in a new deployment.
Validates the replicaset name for existing deployments.
Advanced replicaset member (re)configuration possible (see examples).
Initialize the replicaset before adding users as per \ [best practice](https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/tutorial/deploy-replica-set-with-keyfile-access-control/).

Requirements 

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

pymongo

Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
arbiter_at_index integer	Identifies the position of the member in the array that is an arbiter.
atlas_auth boolean	Authentication path intended for MongoDB Atlas Instances Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
auth_mechanism string	Authentication type. Choices: `"SCRAM-SHA-256"` `"SCRAM-SHA-1"` `"MONGODB-X509"` `"GSSAPI"` `"PLAIN"`
chaining_allowed boolean	When settings.chaining_allowed=true, the replicaset allows secondary members to replicate from other secondary members. When settings.chaining_allowed=false, secondaries can replicate only from the primary. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
cluster_cmd string	Command the module should use to obtain information about the MongoDB node we are connecting to. Choices: `"isMaster"` `"hello"` ← (default)
connection_options list / elements=any	Additional connection options. Supply as a list of dicts or strings containing key value pairs seperated with ‘=’.
debug boolean	Add additonal info for debug. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
election_timeout_millis integer	The time limit in milliseconds for detecting when a replicaset’s primary is unreachable. Default: `10000`
force boolean	Only relevant when reconfigure = true. Specify true to force the available replica set members to accept the new configuration. Force reconfiguration can result in unexpected or undesired behavior, including rollback of “majority” committed writes. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
heartbeat_timeout_secs integer	Number of seconds that the replicaset members wait for a successful heartbeat from each other. If a member does not respond in time, other members mark the delinquent member as inaccessible. The setting only applies when using protocol_version=0. When using protocol_version=1 the relevant setting is settings.election_timeout_millis. Default: `10`
login_database string	The database where login credentials are stored. Default: `"admin"`
login_host string	The host running MongoDB instance to login to. Default: `"localhost"`
login_password string	The password used to authenticate with. Required when login_user is specified.
login_port integer	The MongoDB server port to login to. Default: `27017`
login_user string	The MongoDB user to login with. Required when login_password is specified.
max_time_ms integer	Specifies a cumulative time limit in milliseconds for processing the replicaset reconfiguration.
members list / elements=any	Yaml list consisting of the replicaset members. Csv string will also be accepted i.e. mongodb1:27017,mongodb2:27017,mongodb3:27017. A dictionary can also be used to specify advanced replicaset member options. If a port number is not provided then 27017 is assumed.
protocol_version integer	Version of the replicaset election protocol. Choices: `0` `1` ← (default)
reconfigure boolean	This feature is currently experimental. Please test your scenario thoroughly. Consult the integration test file for supported scenarios - \ [Integration tests](https://github.com/ansible-collections/community.mongodb/tree/master/tests/integration/targets/mongodb_replicaset/tasks). \ See files prefixed with 330. Whether to perform replicaset reconfiguration actions. Only relevant when the replicaset already exists. Only one member should be removed or added per invocation. Members should be specific as either all strings or all dicts when reconfiguring. Currently no support for replicaset settings document changes. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
replica_set string	Replicaset name. Default: `"rs0"`
ssl aliases: tls boolean	Whether to use an SSL connection when connecting to the database. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
ssl_ca_certs aliases: tlsCAFile string	The ssl_ca_certs option takes a path to a CA file.
ssl_cert_reqs aliases: tlsAllowInvalidCertificates string	Specifies whether a certificate is required from the other side of the connection, and whether it will be validated if provided. Choices: `"CERT_NONE"` `"CERT_OPTIONAL"` `"CERT_REQUIRED"` ← (default)
ssl_certfile aliases: tlsCertificateKeyFile string	Present a client certificate using the ssl_certfile option.
ssl_crlfile string	The ssl_crlfile option takes a path to a CRL file.
ssl_keyfile string	Private key for the client certificate.
ssl_pem_passphrase aliases: tlsCertificateKeyFilePassword string	Passphrase to decrypt encrypted private keys.
strict_compatibility boolean	Enforce strict requirements for pymongo and MongoDB software versions Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
validate boolean	Performs some basic validation on the provided replicaset config. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)

Note

Requires the pymongo Python package on the remote host, version 2.4.2+. This can be installed using pip or the OS package manager. @see http://api.mongodb.org/python/current/installation.html
