Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments |
---|---|---|
action | The action to perform when the operation value is set to action .Some common values for this parameter are enable , disable , rename . | |
args | A dictionary which defines the key arguments by which we will select the Nitro object to operate on. It is required for the following operation values: get_by_args , 'delete_by_args' . | |
attributes | The attributes of the Nitro object we are operating on. It is required for the following operation values: add , update , action . | |
expected_nitro_errorcode required | Default: [0] | A list of numeric values that signify that the operation was successful. |
filter | A dictionary which defines the filter with which to refine the Nitro objects returned by the get_filtered operation. | |
instance_id | The id of the target Netscaler instance when issuing a Nitro request through a MAS proxy. | |
instance_ip | The IP address of the target Netscaler instance when issuing a Nitro request through a MAS proxy. | |
instance_name | The name of the target Netscaler instance when issuing a Nitro request through a MAS proxy. | |
name | The name of the resource we are operating on. It is required for the following operation values: update , get , delete . | |
nitro_auth_token | The authentication token provided by the mas_login operation. It is required when issuing Nitro API calls through a MAS proxy. | |
nitro_pass required | The password with which to authenticate to the Netscaler node. | |
nitro_protocol |
| Which protocol to use when accessing the Nitro API objects. |
nitro_user required | The username with which to authenticate to the Netscaler node. | |
nsip | The IP address of the Netscaler or MAS instance where the Nitro API calls will be made. The port can be specified with the colon : . E.g. 192.168.1.1:555 . | |
operation |
| Define the Nitro operation that we want to perform. |
resource | The type of resource we are operating on. It is required for all operation values except mas_login and save_config . | |
validate_certs | Default: yes | If no , SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. |

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
Key | Returned | Description |
---|---|---|
http_response_body string | always | A string with the actual HTTP response body content if existent. If there is no HTTP response body it is an empty string. Sample: { errorcode: 0, message: Done, severity: NONE } |
http_response_data dict | always | A dictionary that contains all the HTTP response's data. Sample: status: 200 |
nitro_auth_token string | when applicable | The token returned by the mas_login operation when succesful.Sample: ##E8D7D74DDBD907EE579E8BB8FF4529655F22227C1C82A34BFC93C9539D66 |
nitro_errorcode int | always | A numeric value containing the return code of the NITRO operation. When 0 the operation is succesful. Any non zero value indicates an error. |
nitro_message string | always | A string containing a human readable explanation for the NITRO operation result. Sample: Success |
nitro_object list | when applicable | The object returned from the NITRO operation. This is applicable to the various get operations which return an object. Sample: [{'state': 'ENABLED', 'name': 'test-server-1', 'ipv6address': 'NO', 'maxbandwidth': '0', 'sp': 'OFF', 'ipaddress': '192.168.1.8', 'port': 0}] |
nitro_severity string | always | A string describing the severity of the NITRO operation error or NONE. Sample: NONE |
