Please note that the Zabbix API will treat absent settings as default when updating any of the ipmi_-options; this means that if you attempt to set any of the four options individually, the rest will be reset to default values.
ipmi_password string	IPMI password. also see the last note in the ipmi_authtype documentation

description string	Description of the user macro. Default: `""`
macro string / required	Name of the user macro. Can be in zabbix native format “{$MACRO}” or short format “MACRO”.
type string	Type of the macro. Since value is not returned by API for secret macros, there is no reliable way to detect changes in the content of secret macro value. To update secret macro value, please update description alongside it so it passes the check. Choices: `"text"` ← (default) `"secret"`

state string	State of the host. On `present`, it will create if host does not exist or update the host if the associated data is different. On `absent` will remove a host if it exists. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
status string	Monitoring status of the host. Choices: `"enabled"` ← (default) `"disabled"`
tags aliases: host_tags list / elements=dictionary	List of host tags to assign to the zabbix host. Providing tags=[] with force=yes will clean all of the tags from the host.
tag string / required	Name of the host tag.
value string	Value of the host tag. Default: `""`
tls_accept integer	Specifies what types of connections are allowed for incoming connections. The tls_accept parameter accepts values of 1 to 7 Possible values, 1 (no encryption), 2 (PSK), 4 (certificate). Values can be combined.
tls_connect integer	Specifies what encryption to use for outgoing connections. Possible values, 1 (no encryption), 2 (PSK), 4 (certificate).
tls_psk string	PSK value is a hard to guess string of hexadecimal digits. The preshared key, at least 32 hex digits. Required if either tls_connect or tls_accept has PSK enabled. Using this parameter makes this module non-idempotent.
tls_psk_identity string	It is a unique name by which this specific PSK is referred to by Zabbix components Do not put sensitive information in the PSK identity string, it is transmitted over the network unencrypted. Works only with >= Zabbix 3.0 Using this parameter with Zabbix >= 5.4 makes this module non-idempotent.
tls_subject string	Required certificate subject.
visible_name string	Visible name of the host in Zabbix.
