Synopsis

  • Manages AFM (Advanced Firewall Manager) logging profiles configured in the system along with basic information about each profile.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

description

string

Description of the log profile.

dos_protection

dictionary

Configures DoS related settings of the log profile.

dns_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DNS DoS events.

To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.

network_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher used for DoS Network events.

To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.

sip_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher used for SIP DoS events.

To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.

ip_intelligence

dictionary

Configures IP Intelligence related settings of the log profile.

log_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher used for IP Intelligence events.

To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred the from partition module parameter.

log_rtbh

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes, specifies remotely triggered blackholing events are logged.

log_shun

boolean

  • no
  • yes

When yes, specifies IP Intelligence shun list events are logged.

This option can only be set on the global-network built-in profile.

log_translation_fields

boolean

  • no
  • yes

This option is used to enable or disable the logging of translated (i.e server side) fields in IP Intelligence log messages.

Translated fields include (but are not limited to) source address/port, destination address/port, IP protocol, route domain, and VLAN.

rate_limit

string

Defines a rate limit for all combined IP intelligence log messages per second. Beyond this rate limit, log messages are not logged until the threshold drops below the specified rate.

To specify an indefinite rate, use the value indefinite.

If specifying a numeric rate, the value must be between 1 and 4294967295.

name

string / required

Specifies the name of the log profile.

partition

string

Default:

"Common"

Device partition to create log profile on.

Parameter also used when specifying names for log publishers, unless log publisher names are in fullpath format.

port_misuse

dictionary

Port Misuse log configuration.

log_publisher

string

Specifies the name of the log publisher used for Port Misuse events.

To specify the log_publisher on a different partition from the AFM log profile, specify the name in fullpath format, e.g. /Foobar/log-publisher, otherwise the partition for the log publisher is inferred from the partition module parameter.

rate_limit

string

Defines a rate limit for all combined port misuse log messages per second. Beyond this rate limit, log messages are not logged until the threshold drops below the specified rate.

To specify an indefinite rate, use the value indefinite.

If specifying a numeric rate, the value must be between 1 and 4294967295.

provider

dictionary

added in 1.0.0 of f5networks.f5_modules

A dict object containing connection details.

auth_provider

string

Configures the auth provider for to obtain authentication tokens from the remote device.

This option is really used when working with BIG-IQ devices.

no_f5_teem

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If yes, TEEM telemetry data is not sent to F5.

You may omit this option by setting the environment variable F5_TEEM.

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.

timeout

integer

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

  • rest

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

  • no
  • yes

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.

state

string

  • present

  • absent

When state is present, ensures the resource exists.

When state is absent, ensures the resource is removed. Attempts to remove built-in system profiles are ignored and no change is returned.



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 f5networks.f5_modules.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.
