bigip_profile_http_compression – Manage HTTP compression profiles on a BIG-IP
New in version 2.7.
Synopsis
- Manage HTTP compression profiles on a BIG-IP.
Parameters
| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| buffer_size integer | Maximum number of compressed bytes that the system buffers before inserting a Content-Length header (which specifies the compressed size) into the response. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is provided by the parent profile. | ||
| description string | Description of the HTTP compression profile. | ||
| gzip_level integer |
| Specifies the degree to which the system compresses the content. Higher compression levels cause the compression process to be slower. Valid values are between 1 (least compression and fastest) to 9 (most compression and slowest). | |
| gzip_memory_level integer |
| Number of kilobytes of memory that the system uses for internal compression buffers when compressing a server response. | |
| gzip_window_size integer |
| Number of kilobytes in the window size that the system uses when compressing a server response. | |
| name string / required | Specifies the name of the compression profile. | ||
| parent string | Specifies the profile from which this profile inherits settings. When creating a new profile, if this parameter is not specified, the default is the system-supplied httpcompression profile. | ||
| partition string | Default: "Common" | Device partition to manage resources on. | |
| password string / 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 | ||
| provider dictionary added in 2.5 | A dict object containing connection details. | ||
| password string / 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 | ||
| server string / required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER. | ||
| server_port integer | Default: 443 | The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER_PORT. | |
| ssh_keyfile path | 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 integer | 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. | |
| transport string |
| Configures the transport connection to use when connecting to the remote device. | |
| user string / 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. | ||
| validate_certs boolean |
| 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. | |
| server string / required | The BIG-IP host. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_SERVER. | ||
| server_port integer 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 string |
| When present, ensures that the profile exists.When absent, ensures the profile is removed. | |
| user string / 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. | ||
| validate_certs boolean added in 2.0 |
| 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. | |
Notes
Note
- 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.
Examples
- name: Create an HTTP compression profile

Return Values
Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:
| Key | Returned | Description |
|---|---|---|
| buffer_size integer | changed | The new buffer size of the profile. Sample: 4096 |
| description string | changed | The new description of the resource. Sample: My custom profile |
| gzip_level integer | changed | The new GZIP level of the profile. Smaller is less compression. Sample: 2 |
| gzip_memory_level integer | changed | The new GZIP memory level, in KB, of the profile. Sample: 16 |
| gzip_window_size integer | changed | The new GZIP window size, in KB, of the profile. Sample: 64 |
