Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

auth

dictionary

Authentication parameters. Can define each of them with ENV as well.

api_key

string

added in sensu.sensu_go 1.3.0

The API key that should be used when authenticating. If this is not set, the value of the SENSU_API_KEY environment variable will be checked.

This replaces auth.user and auth.password parameters.

For more information about the API key, refer to the official Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/use-apikey-feature/.

ca_path

path

added in sensu.sensu_go 1.5.0

Path to the CA bundle that should be used to validate the backend certificate.

If this parameter is not set, module will use the CA bundle that python is using.

It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_CA_PATH environment variable.

password

string

The Sensu user’s password. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_PASSWORD environment variable will be checked.

This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.

Default: "P@ssw0rd!"

url

string

Location of the Sensu backend API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_URL environment variable will be checked.

Default: "http://localhost:8080"

user

string

The username to use for connecting to the Sensu API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_USER environment variable will be checked.

This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.

Default: "admin"

verify

boolean

added in sensu.sensu_go 1.5.0

Flag that controls the certificate validation.

If you are using self-signed certificates, you can set this parameter to false.

ONLY USE THIS PARAMETER IN DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS! In you use self-signed certificates in production, see the auth.ca_path parameter.

It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_VERIFY environment variable.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

labels

dictionary

Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.

Default: {}

name

string / required

The Sensu resource’s name. This name (in combination with the namespace where applicable) uniquely identifies the resource that Ansible operates on.

If the resource with selected name already exists, Ansible module will update it to match the specification in the task.

Consult the name metadata attribute specification in the upstream docs on https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/ for more details about valid names and other restrictions.

namespace

string

RBAC namespace to operate in. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_NAMESPACE environment variable will be used.

Default: "default"

state

string

Target state of the Sensu object.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

workflows

list / elements=dictionary

Array of workflows (by names) to use when filtering, mutating, and handling observability events with a pipeline.

filters

list / elements=dictionary

Reference for the Sensu event filters to use when filtering events for the pipeline.

Each pipeline workflow can reference more than one event filter.

If a workflow has more than one filter, Sensu applies the filters in a series, starting with the filter that is listed first.

name

string / required

Name of the Sensu event filter to use for the workflow.

You can use the built-in event filters, as well as your existing event filters, in pipeline workflows.

type

string

The sensuctl create resource type for the event filter.

Event filters should always be type EventFilter.

Choices:

  • "event_filter" ← (default)

handler

dictionary / required

Reference for the Sensu handler to use for event processing in the workflow.

Each pipeline workflow must reference one handler.

Pipelines ignore any filters and mutators specified in handler definitions.

name

string / required

Name of the Sensu handler to use for the workflow.

You can use your existing handlers in pipeline workflows.

Pipelines ignore any filters and mutators specified in handler definitions.

type

string / required

The sensuctl create resource type for the handler.

Choices:

  • "handler"

  • "tcp_stream_handler"

  • "sumo_logic_metrics_handler"

mutator

dictionary

Reference for the Sensu mutator to use to mutate event data for the workflow.

Each pipeline workflow can reference only one mutator.

name

string / required

Name of the Sensu mutator to use for the workflow.

You can use your existing mutators in pipeline workflows.

type

string

The sensuctl create resource type for the mutator.

Mutators should always be type Mutator.

Choices:

  • "mutator" ← (default)

name

string / required

Name of the Sensu pipeline workflow.
