Synopsis

  • Manages BIG-IP MySQL monitors.

Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
app_service
string
The iApp service to be associated with this profile. When no service is specified, the default is None.
count
integer
Specifies the number of monitor probes after which the connection to the database is terminated.
database
string
Specifies the name of the database that the monitor tries to access.
debug
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies whether the monitor sends error messages and additional information to a log file created and labeled specifically for this monitor.
description
string
Specifies descriptive text that identifies the monitor.
interval
integer
Specifies the frequency at which the system issues the monitor check.
ip
string
IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value is '*'.
manual_resume
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Specifies whether the system automatically changes the status of a resource to enabled at the next successful monitor check.
If you set this option to yes, you must manually re-enable the resource before the system can use it for load balancing connections.
When yes, specifies you must manually re-enable the resource after an unsuccessful monitor check.
When no, specifies the system automatically changes the status of a resource to enabled at the next successful monitor check.
name
string / required
Monitor name.
parent
string
The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed.
By default, this value is the mysql 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
    Choices:
  • 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
    Choices:
  • 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
    Choices:
  • 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.
recv
string
Specifies the text string the monitor looks for in the returned resource.
The most common receive expressions contain a text string that is included in a field in your database.
If you do not specify both a Send String and a Receive String, the monitor performs a simple service check and connect only.
recv_column
string
Specifies the column in the database where the system expects the specified Receive String to be located.
This is an optional setting, and is applicable only if you configure the send and recv options.
recv_row
string
Specifies the row in the database where the system expects the specified Receive String to be located.
This is an optional setting, and is applicable only if you configure the send and recv options.
send
string
Specifies the SQL query the monitor sends to the target object.
Because the string may have special characters, the system may require the string be enclosed with single quotation marks. If this value is none, then a valid connection suffices to determine that the service is up. In this case, the system does not need the recv, recv-row, and recv-column options and ignores them even if not none.
state
string
    Choices:
  • 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 number of seconds to wait after a resource first responds correctly to the monitor before setting the resource to 'up'.
During the interval, all responses from the resource must be correct.
When the interval expires, the resource is marked 'up'.
A value of 0, means that the resource is marked up immediately upon receipt of the first correct response.
timeout
integer
Specifies the number of seconds the target has in which to 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'. When this value is set to 0 (zero), the system uses the interval from the parent monitor.
Note that timeout and time_until_up combine to control when a resource is set to up.
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 to use when checking the health of a resource that is up.
update_password
string
    Choices:
  • always
  • on_create
always will update passwords if the target_password is specified.
on_create will only set the password for newly created monitors.

Notes

Note

  • 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.
