New in version 2.8.

Synopsis

  • Manages Signature Sets on ASM policy.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
alarm
boolean
    Choices:

  • yes
Specifies if the security policy logs the request data in the Statistics screen, when a request matches a signature that is included in the signature set.
block
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Effective when the security policy`s enforcement mode is Blocking.
Determines how the system treats requests that match a signature included in the signature set.

  • no
  • yes
Specifies if the security policy learns all requests that match a signature that is included in the signature set.

Notes

Note

  • This module is primarily used as a component of configuring ASM policy in Ansible Galaxy ASM Policy Role.
  • For more information on using Ansible to manage F5 Networks devices see https://www.ansible.com/integrations/networks/f5.
  • Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12.
  • The F5 modules only manipulate the running configuration of the F5 product. To ensure that BIG-IP specific configuration persists to disk, be sure to include at least one task that uses the bigip_config module to save the running configuration. Refer to the module’s documentation for the correct usage of the module to save your running configuration.
