Synopsis

  • Manages F5 BIG-IP LTM HTTPS monitors.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

cipher_list

string

added in 1.3.0 of f5networks.f5_modules

Specifies the list of ciphers for this monitor.

The items in the cipher list are separated with the colon : symbol.

description

string

The description of the monitor.

interval

integer

The interval specifying how frequently the monitor instance of this template will run. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value is 5. This value must be less than the timeout value.

ip

string

IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value is '*'.

name

string / required

Monitor name.

parent

string

Default:

"/Common/https"

The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed. By default, this value is the https parent on the Common partition.

partition

string

Default:

"Common"

Device partition to manage resources on.

port

string

Port address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value is '*'. If specifying an IP address, you must specify a value between 1 and 65535.

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.

receive

string

The Receive string for the monitor call.

receive_disable

string

This setting works like receive, except the system marks the node or pool member disabled when its response matches the receive_disable string but not receive. To use this setting, you must specify both receive_disable and receive.

send

string

The Send string for the monitor call. When creating a new monitor, if this value is not provided, the default GET /\\r\\n is used.

ssl_profile

string

Specifies the SSL profile to use for the HTTPS monitor.

Defining SSL profiles enables refined customization of the SSL attributes for an HTTPS monitor.

This parameter is only supported on BIG-IP versions 13.x and later.

state

string

  • present

  • absent

When present, ensures the monitor exists.

When absent, ensures the monitor is removed.

target_password

string

Specifies the password, if the monitored target requires authentication.

target_username

string

Specifies the user name, if the monitored target requires authentication.

time_until_up

integer

Specifies the amount of time in seconds after the first successful response before a node will be marked up. A value of 0 causes a node to be marked up immediately after a valid response is received from the node. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 0.

timeout

integer

The number of seconds in which the node or service must respond to the monitor request. If the target responds within the set time period, it is considered up. If the target does not respond within the set time period, it is considered down. You can change this to any number, however, it should be 3 times the interval number of seconds plus 1 second. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value is 16.

up_interval

integer

Specifies the interval for the system to use to perform the health check when a resource is up.

When 0, specifies the system uses the interval specified in interval to check the health of the resource.

When any other number, enables you to specify a different interval when checking the health of a resource that is up.



Notes

Note

  • Requires BIG-IP software version >= 12
  • 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.
