Parameters

Parameter	Comments
api_context dictionary	Avi API context that includes current session ID and CSRF Token. This allows user to perform single login and re-use the session.
api_version string	Avi API version of to use for Avi API and objects. Default: "16.4.4"
async_interval string	Frequency with which messages are propagated to vs mgr. Value of 0 disables async behavior and rpc are sent inline. Allowed values are 0-5. Field introduced in 18.2.3. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as 0.
avi_api_patch_op string	Patch operation to use when using avi_api_update_method as patch. Choices: "add" "replace" "delete"
avi_api_update_method string	Default method for object update is HTTP PUT. Setting to patch will override that behavior to use HTTP PATCH. Choices: "put" ← (default) "patch"
avi_credentials dictionary	Avi Credentials dictionary which can be used in lieu of enumerating Avi Controller login details.
api_version string	Avi controller version Default: "16.4.4"
controller string	Avi controller IP or SQDN
csrftoken string	Avi controller API csrftoken to reuse existing session with session id Default: ""
password string	Avi controller password
port string	Avi controller port
session_id string	Avi controller API session id to reuse existing session with csrftoken Default: ""
tenant string	Avi controller tenant Default: "admin"
tenant_uuid string	Avi controller tenant UUID Default: ""
timeout string	Avi controller request timeout Default: 300
token string	Avi controller API token Default: ""
username string	Avi controller username
avi_disable_session_cache_as_fact boolean	It disables avi session information to be cached as a fact. Choices: false ← (default) true
clear_on_max_retries string	Max retries after which the remote site is treated as a fresh start. In fresh start all the configs are downloaded. Allowed values are 1-1024. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as 20.
client_ip_addr_group string	Group to specify if the client ip addresses are public or private. Field introduced in 17.1.2.
controller string	IP address or hostname of the controller. The default value is the environment variable AVI_CONTROLLER.
description string	User defined description for the object.
dns_configs string	Sub domain configuration for the gslb. Gslb service’s fqdn must be a match one of these subdomains.
is_federated boolean	This field indicates that this object is replicated across gslb federation. Field introduced in 17.1.3. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as True. Choices: false true
leader_cluster_uuid string / required	Mark this site as leader of gslb configuration. This site is the one among the avi sites.
maintenance_mode boolean	This field disables the configuration operations on the leader for all federated objects. Cud operations on gslb, gslbservice, gslbgeodbprofile and other federated objects will be rejected. The rest-api disabling helps in upgrade scenarios where we don’t want configuration sync operations to the gslb member when the member is being upgraded. This configuration programmatically blocks the leader from accepting new gslb configuration when member sites are undergoing upgrade. Field introduced in 17.2.1. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as False. Choices: false true
name string / required	Name for the gslb object.
password string	Password of Avi user in Avi controller. The default value is the environment variable AVI_PASSWORD.
send_interval string	Frequency with which group members communicate. Allowed values are 1-3600. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as 15.
send_interval_prior_to_maintenance_mode string	The user can specify a send-interval while entering maintenance mode. The validity of this ‘maintenance send-interval’ is only during maintenance mode. When the user leaves maintenance mode, the original send-interval is reinstated. This internal variable is used to store the original send-interval. Field introduced in 18.2.3.
sites string	Select avi site member belonging to this gslb.
state string	The state that should be applied on the entity. Choices: "absent" "present" ← (default)
tenant string	Name of tenant used for all Avi API calls and context of object. Default: "admin"
tenant_ref string	It is a reference to an object of type tenant.
tenant_uuid string	UUID of tenant used for all Avi API calls and context of object. Default: ""
third_party_sites string	Third party site member belonging to this gslb. Field introduced in 17.1.1.
url string	Avi controller URL of the object.
username string	Username used for accessing Avi controller. The default value is the environment variable AVI_USERNAME.
uuid string	Uuid of the gslb object.
view_id string	The view-id is used in change-leader mode to differentiate partitioned groups while they have the same gslb namespace. Each partitioned group will be able to operate independently by using the view-id. Default value when not specified in API or module is interpreted by Avi Controller as 0.
