bigip_gtm_monitor_bigip – Manages F5 BIG-IP GTM BIG-IP monitors
New in version 2.6.
Synopsis
- Manages F5 BIG-IP GTM BIG-IP monitors. This monitor is used by GTM to monitor BIG-IPs themselves.
Requirements
The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

server_port - |
Default: 443 |
The BIG-IP server port. You may omit this option by setting the environment variable | |
ssh_keyfile - |
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 | ||

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 the f5-sdk Python package on the host. This is as easy as
pip install f5-sdk
. - 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.
