Synopsis

• Manages AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager) logging profiles configured in the system along with basic information about each profile.

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
description string	Description of the log profile.
dos_protection dictionary	Configures DoS related settings of the log profile.
dns_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DNS DoS events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.
network_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DoS Network events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.
sip_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for SIP DoS events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.
ip_intelligence dictionary	Configures IP Intelligence related settings of the log profile.
log_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for IP Intelligence events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred the from partition module parameter.
log_rtbh boolean	When true, specifies remotely triggered blackholing events are logged. Choices: false true
log_shun boolean	When true, specifies IP Intelligence shun list events are logged. This option can only be set on the global-network built-in profile. Choices: false true
log_translation_fields boolean	This option is used to enable or disable the logging of translated (i.e server side) fields in IP Intelligence log messages. Translated fields include (but are not limited to) source address/port, destination address/port, IP protocol, route domain, and VLAN. Choices: false true
rate_limit string	Defines a rate limit for all combined IP intelligence log messages per second. Beyond this rate limit, log messages are not logged until the threshold drops below the specified rate. To specify an indefinite rate, use the value indefinite. If specifying a numeric rate, the value must be between 1 and 4294967295.
name string / required	Specifies the name of the log profile.
partition string	Device partition to create log profile on. Parameter also used when specifying names for log publishers, unless log publisher names are in fullpath format. Default: "Common"
port_misuse dictionary	Port Misuse log configuration.
log_publisher string	Specifies the name of the log publisher used for Port Misuse events. To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.
rate_limit string	Defines a rate limit for all combined port misuse log messages per second. Beyond this rate limit, log messages are not logged until the threshold drops below the specified rate. To specify an indefinite rate, use the value indefinite. If specifying a numeric rate, the value must be between 1 and 4294967295.
provider dictionary added in f5networks.f5_modules 1.0.0	A dict object containing connection details.
auth_provider string	Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device. This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.
no_f5_teem boolean	If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TELEMETRY_OFF. Previously used variable F5_TEEM is deprecated as its name was confusing. Choices: false ← (default) true
password aliases: pass, pwd string / required	The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD.
server string / required	The BIG-IP host or the BIG-IQ host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER.
server_port integer	The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. Default: 443
timeout integer	Specifies the timeout in seconds for communicating with the network device for either connecting or sending commands. If the timeout is exceeded before the operation is completed, the module will error.
transport string	Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. Choices: "rest" ← (default)
user string / required	The username to connect to the BIG-IP or the BIG-IQ. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER.
validate_certs boolean	If no, SSL certificates are not validated. Use this only on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_VALIDATE_CERTS. Choices: false true ← (default)
state string	When state is present, ensures the resource exists. When state is absent, ensures the resource is removed. Attempts to remove built-in system profiles are ignored and no change is returned. Choices: "present" ← (default) "absent"

Notes

Note

• For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.

• Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.

• The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the f5networks.f5_modules.bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
