interval | The interval specifying how frequently the monitor instance of this template will run. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 5. This value must be less than the timeout value. | ||
ip | IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be '*'. If this value is an IP address, and the type is tcp (the default), then a port number must be specified. | ||
name required | Monitor name. | ||
parent | Default: /Common/tcp_half_open | The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed. By default, this value is the tcp_half_open parent on the Common partition. | |
partition (added in 2.5) | Default: Common | Device partition to manage resources on. | |
password required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD .aliases: pass, pwd | ||
port (added in 2.5) | Port address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be '*'. Note that if specifying an IP address, a value between 1 and 65535 must be specified | ||
provider (added in 2.5) | Default: None | A dict object containing connection details. | |
ssh_keyfile | Specifies the SSH keyfile to use to authenticate the connection to the remote device. This argument is only used for cli transports. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE . | ||
timeout | Default: 10 | 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. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
user required | The username to connect to the BIG-IP with. This user must have administrative privileges on the device. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_USER . | ||
server_port | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
password required | The password for the user account used to connect to the BIG-IP. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_PASSWORD .aliases: pass, pwd | ||
validate_certs bool |
| 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 . | |
transport required |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
server required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER . | ||
server_port (added in 2.2) | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT . | |
state (added in 2.5) |
| When present , ensures that the monitor exists.When absent , ensures the monitor is removed. | |
time_until_up | Specifies the amount of time in seconds after the first successful response before a node will be marked up. A value of 0 will cause a node to be marked up immediately after a valid response is received from the node. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 0. | ||
timeout | The number of seconds in which the node or service must respond to the monitor request. If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the target does not respond within the set time period, it is considered down. You can change this number to any number you want, however, it should be 3 times the interval number of seconds plus 1 second. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 16. | ||
