Parameters

Parameter

Comments

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

hashid

float

Unique numerical identifier used by hash based load balancing methods to identify a service.

managed_netscaler_instance_id

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The ID of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_ip

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_name

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The name of the managed NetScaler instance to which NetScaler Console

has to configure as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

managed_netscaler_instance_password

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The password of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

managed_netscaler_instance_username

string

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The username of the managed NetScaler instance.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

In Settings > Administration > System Configurations > Basic Settings,

if you select Prompt Credentials for Instance Login,

ensure to configure username and password of a managed instance.

monitor_name

string

Monitor name.

monstate

string

Monitor state.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

netscaler_console_as_proxy_server

boolean

added in netscaler.adc 2.6.0

The IP address of the NetScaler ADC appliance acting as a proxy server.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

nitro_auth_token

string

The authentication token provided by a login operation.

nitro_pass

string

The password with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nitro_protocol

string

Which protocol to use when accessing the nitro API objects.

Choices:

  • "http"

  • "https" ← (default)

nitro_user

string

The username with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.

nsip

string / required

The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be made.

The port can be specified with the colon (:). E.g. 192.168.1.1:555.

order

float

Order number to be assigned to the gslb servicegroup member

passive

boolean

Indicates if load monitor is passive. A passive load monitor does not remove service from LB decision when threshold is breached.

Choices:

  • false

  • true

port

integer

Port number of the GSLB service. Each service must have a unique port number.

publicip

string

The public IP address that a NAT device translates to the GSLB service’s private IP address. Optional.

publicport

integer

The public port associated with the GSLB service’s public IP address. The port is mapped to the service’s private port number. Applicable to the local GSLB service. Optional.

save_config

boolean

If true the module will save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it makes any changes.

The module will not save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it made no changes.

Choices:

  • false ← (default)

  • true

servicegroupname

string

Name of the GSLB service group.

siteprefix

string

The site’s prefix string. When the GSLB service group is bound to a GSLB virtual server, a GSLB site domain is generated internally for each bound serviceitem-domain pair by concatenating the site prefix of the service item and the name of the domain. If the special string NONE is specified, the site-prefix string is unset. When implementing HTTP redirect site persistence, the Citrix ADC redirects GSLB requests to GSLB services by using their site domains.

state

string

The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.

When present, the resource will be added/updated configured according to the module’s parameters.

When absent, the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

validate_certs

boolean

If false, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates.

Choices:

  • false

  • true ← (default)

weight

float

Weight to assign to the servers in the service group. Specifies the capacity of the servers relative to the other servers in the load balancing configuration. The higher the weight, the higher the percentage of requests sent to the service.
