Synopsis

Create, update or delete Sensu silence.
For more information, refer to the Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/reference/silencing/.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

python >= 2.7

Parameters

Parameter		Choices/Defaults	Comments
annotations dictionary			Custom metadata fields with fewer restrictions, as key/value pairs. These are preserved by Sensu but not accessible as tokens or identifiers, and are mainly intended for use with external tools.
auth dictionary			Authentication parameters. Can define each of them with ENV as well.
	api_key string added in 1.3.0 of sensu.sensu_go		The API key that should be used when authenticating. If this is not set, the value of the SENSU_API_KEY environment variable will be checked. This replaces auth.user and auth.password parameters. For more information about the API key, refer to the official Sensu documentation at https://docs.sensu.io/sensu-go/latest/guides/use-apikey-feature/.
	ca_path path added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go		Path to the CA bundle that should be used to validate the backend certificate. If this parameter is not set, module will use the CA bundle that python is using. It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_CA_PATH environment variable.
	password string	Default: "P@ssw0rd!"	The Sensu user's password. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_PASSWORD environment variable will be checked. This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
	url string	Default: "http://localhost:8080"	Location of the Sensu backend API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_URL environment variable will be checked.
	user string	Default: "admin"	The username to use for connecting to the Sensu API. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_USER environment variable will be checked. This parameter is ignored if the auth.api_key parameter is set.
	verify boolean added in 1.5.0 of sensu.sensu_go	Choices: no yes ←	Flag that controls the certificate validation. If you are using self-signed certificates, you can set this parameter to `false`. ONLY USE THIS PARAMETER IN DEVELOPMENT SCENARIOS! In you use self-signed certificates in production, see the auth.ca_path parameter. It is also possible to set this parameter via the SENSU_VERIFY environment variable.
begin integer			UNIX time at which silence entry goes into effect.
check string			The name of the check the entry should match. If left empty a silencing entry will contain an asterisk in the check position. This indicates that any event where the originating entities subscriptions match the subscription specified in the entry will be marked as silenced, regardless of the check name. This parameter is required if the subscription parameter is absent.
expire integer			Number of seconds until the silence expires.
expire_on_resolve boolean		Choices: no yes	If the entry should be deleted when a check begins return OK status (resolves).
labels dictionary			Custom metadata fields that can be accessed within Sensu, as key/value pairs.
namespace string		Default: "default"	RBAC namespace to operate in. If this is not set the value of the SENSU_NAMESPACE environment variable will be used.
reason string			Reason for silencing.
state string		Choices: present ← absent	Target state of the Sensu object.
subscription string			The name of the subscription the entry should match. If left empty a silencing entry will contain an asterisk in the subscription position. This indicates that any event with a matching check name will be marked as silenced, regardless of the originating entities subscriptions. Specific entity can also be targeted by taking advantage of per-entity subscription (entity:<entity_name>). This parameter is required if the check parameter is absent.

  sensu.sensu_go.silence:
    subscription: proxy

- name: Silence specific check regardless of the originating entities subscription
  sensu.sensu_go.silence:
    check: check-cpu

- name: Silence all checks on a specific entity
  sensu.sensu_go.silence:
    subscription: entity:important-entity
    expire: 120
    reason: rebooting the world

- name: Delete a silencing entry
  sensu.sensu_go.silence:
    subscription: entity:important-entity
    state: absent
