Parameters

PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication.
This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required.
client_key
path
PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication.
If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.

    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Credentials specified with url_username and url_password should be passed in HTTP Header.
host
string
The hostname/IP address of the remote Icinga 2 instance.
http_agent
string
Default:
"ansible-httpget"
Header to identify as, generally appears in web server logs.
log_duration
string
Duration for keeping replay logs on connection loss. Defaults to 1d (86400 seconds). Attribute is specified in seconds. If log_duration is set to 0, replaying logs is disabled. You could also specify the value in human readable format like 10m for 10 minutes or 1h for one hour.
object_name
string / required
Icinga object name for this endpoint.
This is usually a fully qualified host name but it could basically be any kind of string.
To make things easier for your users we strongly suggest to use meaningful names for templates.
For example "generic-endpoint" is ugly, "Standard Linux Server" is easier to understand.

string
    Choices:
  • present ←
  • absent
Apply feature state.
url
string / required

url_password
string
The password for use in HTTP basic authentication.
If the url_username parameter is not specified, the url_password parameter will not be used.
url_username
string
The username for use in HTTP basic authentication.
This parameter can be used without url_password for sites that allow empty passwords
use_gssapi
boolean
added in 2.11 of ansible.builtin
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Use GSSAPI to perform the authentication, typically this is for Kerberos or Kerberos through Negotiate authentication.
Requires the Python library gssapi to be installed.
Credentials for GSSAPI can be specified with url_username/url_password or with the GSSAPI env var KRB5CCNAME that specified a custom Kerberos credential cache.
NTLM authentication is not supported even if the GSSAPI mech for NTLM has been installed.
use_proxy
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.

boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes ←
If no, SSL certificates will not be validated.
This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.
