| Parameter | Choices/Defaults | Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|
| cipher_list string | Specifies the list of ciphers for this monitor. The items in the cipher list are separated with the colon : symbol.When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not specified, the default list is HIGH:!ADH. | ||
| concurrency_limit integer | Specifies the maximum percentage of licensed connections currently in use under which the monitor marks the Secure Access Manager system up. As an example, a setting of 95 percent means that the monitor marks the Secure Access Manager system up until 95 percent of licensed connections are in use. When the number of in-use licensed connections exceeds 95 percent, the monitor marks the Secure Access Manager system down. When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not specified, the default is 95. | ||
| ignore_down_response boolean |
| Specifies the monitor allows more than one probe attempt per interval. When yes, specifies the monitor ignores down responses for the duration of the monitor timeout. Once the monitor timeout is reached without the system receiving an up response, the system marks the object down.When no, specifies the monitor immediately marks an object down when it receives a down response.When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, the default value will be no. | |
| interval integer | The interval specifying how frequently the monitor instance of this template will run. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, then the default value will be 30. This value must be less than the timeout value. | ||
| ip string | IP address part of the IP/port definition. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value will be '*'. If this value is an IP address, a port number must be specified. | ||
| max_load_average integer | Specifies the number the monitor uses to mark the Secure Access Manager system up or down. The system compares the Max Load Average setting against a one-minute average of the Secure Access Manager system load. When the Secure Access Manager system-load average falls within the specified Max Load Average, the monitor marks the Secure Access Manager system up. When the average exceeds the setting, the monitor marks the system down. When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not specified, the default is 12. | ||
| name string / required | Monitor name. | ||
| parent string | Default: "/Common/firepass_gtm" | The parent template of this monitor template. Once this value has been set, it cannot be changed. By default, this value is the tcp 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 will be '*'. Note that if specifying an IP address, a value between 1 and 65535 must be specified. | ||
| probe_timeout integer | Specifies the number of seconds after which the system times out the probe request to the system. When creating a new monitor, if this parameter is not provided, the default value will be 5. | ||
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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 |
| 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. | |
| state string |
| 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. | ||
| timeout integer | The number of seconds in which the node or service must 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. You can change this to any number, however, it should be 3 times the interval number of seconds plus 1 second. If this parameter is not provided when creating a new monitor, the default value will be 90. | ||
| update_password string |
| always will update passwords if the target_password is specified.on_create will only set the password for newly created monitors. | |
