vdom

string

Virtual domain, among those defined previously. A vdom is a virtual instance of the FortiGate that can be configured and used as a different unit.

Default: "root"

Notes

Note

  • Different selector may have different parameters, users are expected to look up them for a specific selector.
  • For some selectors, the objects are global, no params are allowed to appear.
  • Not all parameters are required for a selector.
  • This module is exclusivly for FortiOS monitor API.
  • The result of API request is stored in results.

Examples

- name: Activate FortiToken
  fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor:
      vdom: "root"
      access_token: "your_own_value"
      selector: 'activate.user.fortitoken'
      params:
          tokens: '<token string>'

- name: Reboot This Device
  fortinet.fortios.fortios_monitor:
      vdom: "root"
      access_token: "you_own_value"
      selector: 'reboot.system.os'
      params:
          event_log_message: 'Reboot Request From Ansible'
