Parameters
| Name | Type | Required | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| annotation | string | orchestrator:ansible | User-defined string for annotating an object. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_ANNOTATION) will be used instead. If the value is not specified in the task and environment variable C(ACI_ANNOTATION) then the default value will be used. | |
| certificate_name | string | The X.509 certificate name attached to the APIC AAA user used for signature-based authentication. If a C(private_key) filename was provided, this defaults to the C(private_key) basename, without extension. If PEM-formatted content was provided for C(private_key), this defaults to the C(username) value. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_CERTIFICATE_NAME) will be used instead. | ||
| description | string | The description of the Configuration Export Policy. | ||
| export_destination | string | The name of the remote path policy used for storing the generated configuration backup data for the configuration export policy. | ||
| format | string | The format of the export file. This defaults to json on the APIC when unset on creation. | ||
| host | string | IP Address or hostname of APIC resolvable by Ansible control host. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_HOST) will be used instead. | ||
| name | string | The name of the Configuration Export Policy. | ||
| output_level | string | normal | Influence the output of this ACI module. C(normal) means the standard output, incl. C(current) dict C(info) adds informational output, incl. C(previous), C(proposed) and C(sent) dicts C(debug) adds debugging output, incl. C(filter_string), C(method), C(response), C(status) and C(url) information If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_OUTPUT_LEVEL) will be used instead. | |
| output_path | string | Path to a file that will be used to dump the ACI JSON configuration objects generated by the module. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_OUTPUT_PATH) will be used instead. | ||
| password | string | The password to use for authentication. This option is mutual exclusive with C(private_key). If C(private_key) is provided too, it will be used instead. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables C(ACI_PASSWORD) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_PASSWORD) will be used instead. | ||
| port | int | Port number to be used for REST connection. The default value depends on parameter C(use_ssl). If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_PORT) will be used instead. | ||
| private_key | string | Either a PEM-formatted private key file or the private key content used for signature-based authentication. This value also influences the default C(certificate_name) that is used. This option is mutual exclusive with C(password). If C(password) is provided too, it will be ignored. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_PRIVATE_KEY) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_SSH_KEYFILE) will be used instead. | ||
| scheduler | string | The name of the scheduler policy used for running scheduled export jobs. | ||
| snapshot | bool | Enables a snapshot of the configuration export policy. This defaults to False on the APIC when unset on creation. | ||
| start_now | bool | Specifies if the configuration export policy should be applied now or at another time. This defaults to False on the APIC when unset on creation. | ||
| state | string | present | Use C(present) or C(absent) for adding or removing. Use C(query) for listing an object or multiple objects. | |
| suppress_previous | bool | If C(true), a GET to check previous will not be sent before a POST update to APIC. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_SUPPRESS_PREVIOUS) will be used instead. The default value is C(false). WARNING - This causes the previous return value to be empty. The previous state of the object will not be checked and the POST update will contain all properties. | ||
| suppress_verification | bool | If C(true), a verifying GET will not be sent after a POST update to APIC. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_SUPPRESS_VERIFICATION) will be used instead. The default value is C(false). WARNING - This causes the current return value to be set to the proposed value. The current object including default values will be unverifiable in a single task. | ||
| target_dn | string | The distinguished name of the object to be exported. If no target_dn is included, the APIC will export the policy universe. | ||
| timeout | int | The socket level timeout in seconds. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_TIMEOUT) will be used instead. The default value is 30. | ||
| use_proxy | bool | If C(false), it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_USE_PROXY) will be used instead. The default value is true. | ||
| use_ssl | bool | If C(false), an HTTP connection will be used instead of the default HTTPS connection. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_USE_SSL) will be used instead. The default value is true when the connection is local. | ||
| username | string | The username to use for authentication. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variables C(ACI_USERNAME) or C(ANSIBLE_NET_USERNAME) will be used instead. The default value is admin. | ||
| validate_certs | bool | If C(false), SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only set to C(false) when used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. If the value is not specified in the task, the value of environment variable C(ACI_VALIDATE_CERTS) will be used instead. The default value is true. |
