Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
comment string	Configures a text string comment to be associated with the instance of this object. The provided text string will be configured on the object instance.
default_value string	Configures the default value which is pre populated in the GUI when this attribute is used. Email, URL and string types the value is a with a maximum of 256 characters.
flags string	This field contains extensible attribute flags. The possible values are (A)udited, (C)loud API, Cloud (G)master, (I)nheritable, (L)isted, (M)andatory value, MGM (P)rivate, (R)ead Only, (S)ort enum values, Multiple (V)alues. If there are two or more flags in the field, you must list them according to the order they are listed above. For example, “CR” is a valid value for the “flags” field because C = Cloud API is listed before R = Read only. However, the value “RC” is invalid because the order for the “flags” field is broken.
list_values list / elements=string	Configures a list of preset values associated with the instance of this object. Only applicable when the attribute type is set to ENUM.
max integer	Configures the maximum value to be associated with the instance of this object. When provided for an extensible attribute of type STRING the value represents the maximum number of characters the string can contain. When provided for an extensible attribute of type INTEGER the value represents the maximum integer value permitted.Not applicable for other attributes types.
min integer	Configures the minimum value to be associated with the instance of this object. When provided for an extensible attribute of type STRING the value represents the minimum number of characters the string can contain. When provided for an extensible attribute of type INTEGER the value represents the minimum integer value permitted. Not applicable for other attributes types.
name string / required	Configures the intended name of the instance of the object on the NIOS server.
provider dictionary	A dict object containing connection details.
cert string	Specifies the client certificate file with digest of x509 config for extra layer secure connection the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_CERT` environment variable.
host string	Specifies the DNS host name or address for connecting to the remote instance of NIOS WAPI over REST Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HOST` environment variable.
http_pool_connections integer	Insert decription here Default: `10`
http_pool_maxsize integer	Insert description here Default: `10`
http_request_timeout integer	The amount of time before to wait before receiving a response Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_HTTP_REQUEST_TIMEOUT` environment variable. Default: `10`
key string	Specifies private key file for encryption with the certificate in order to connect with remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_KEY` environment variable.
max_results integer	Specifies the maximum number of objects to be returned, if set to a negative number the appliance will return an error when the number of returned objects would exceed the setting. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RESULTS` environment variable. Default: `1000`
max_retries integer	Configures the number of attempted retries before the connection is declared usable Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_MAX_RETRIES` environment variable. Default: `3`
password string	Specifies the password to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_PASSWORD` environment variable.
silent_ssl_warnings boolean	Insert description here Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
username string	Configures the username to use to authenticate the connection to the remote instance of NIOS. Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_USERNAME` environment variable.
validate_certs aliases: ssl_verify boolean	Boolean value to enable or disable verifying SSL certificates Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_SSL_VERIFY` environment variable. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
wapi_version string	Specifies the version of WAPI to use Value can also be specified using `INFOBLOX_WAPI_VERSION` environment variable. Until ansible 2.8 the default WAPI was 1.4 Default: `"2.12.3"`
state string	Configures the intended state of the instance of the object on the NIOS server. When this value is set to `present`, the object is configured on the device and when this value is set to `absent` the value is removed (if necessary) from the device. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
type string	Configures the intended type for this attribute object definition on the NIOS server. Choices: `"DATE"` `"EMAIL"` `"ENUM"` `"INTEGER"` `"STRING"` ← (default) `"URL"`
