New in version 2.5.


Synopsis

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments

check_command

-

Default:

"hostalive"

The command used to check if the host is alive.

client_cert

-

PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, client_key is not required.

client_key

-

PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If client_cert contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.

display_name

-

Default:

"if none is give it is the value of the \u003cname\u003e parameter"

The name used to display the host.

force_basic_auth

boolean

  • no

  • yes

httplib2, the library used by the uri module only sends authentication information when a webservice responds to an initial request with a 401 status. Since some basic auth services do not properly send a 401, logins will fail. This option forces the sending of the Basic authentication header upon initial request.

ip

- / required

The IP address of the host.

name

- / required

Name used to create / delete the host. This does not need to be the FQDN, but does needs to be unique.

state

-

  • present

  • absent

Apply feature state.

template

-

The template used to define the host.

Template cannot be modified after object creation.

url

- / required

HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP URL in the form (http|https|ftp)://[user[:pass]]@host.domain[:port]/path

url_password

-

The password for use in HTTP basic authentication.

If the url_username parameter is not specified, the url_password parameter will not be used.

url_username

-

The username for use in HTTP basic authentication.

This parameter can be used without url_password for sites that allow empty passwords.

use_proxy

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If no, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts.

validate_certs

boolean

  • no
  • yes

If no, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

variables
