Synopsis

  • Configuration for snmp trap resource.

Parameters

Parameter

Comments

allpartitions

any

Send traps of all partitions to this destination.

Choices:

  • "ENABLED"

  • "DISABLED"

api_path

string

Base NITRO API path.

Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call

Default: "nitro/v1/config"

communityname

any

Password (string) sent with the trap messages, so that the trap listener can authenticate them. Can include 1 to 31 uppercase or lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphen (-), period (.) pound (#), space ( ), at (@), equals (=), colon (:), and underscore (_) characters.

You must specify the same community string on the trap listener device. Otherwise, the trap listener drops the trap messages.

The following requirement applies only to the Citrix ADC CLI:

If the string includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, “my string” or ‘my string’).

destport

any

UDP port at which the trap listener listens for trap messages. This setting must match the setting on the trap listener. Otherwise, the listener drops the trap messages.

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.

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.

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

severity

any

Severity level at or above which the Citrix ADC sends trap messages to this trap listener. The severity levels, in increasing order of severity, are Informational, Warning, Minor, Major, Critical. This parameter can be set for trap listeners of type SPECIFIC only. The default is to send all levels of trap messages.

Important: Trap messages are not assigned severity levels unless you specify severity levels when configuring SNMP alarms.

Choices:

  • "Critical"

  • "Major"

  • "Minor"

  • "Warning"

  • "Informational"

snmptrap_snmpuser_binding

dictionary

Bindings for snmptrap_snmpuser_binding resource

binding_members

list / elements=dictionary

List of binding members

Default: []

mode

string

The mode in which to configure the bindings.

If mode is set to desired, the bindings will be added or removed from the target NetScaler ADCs as necessary to match the bindings specified in the state.

If mode is set to bind, the specified bindings will be added to the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

If mode is set to unbind, the specified bindings will be removed from the resource. The existing bindings in the target ADCs will not be modified.

Choices:

  • "desired" ← (default)

  • "bind"

  • "unbind"

srcip

any

IPv4 or IPv6 address that the Citrix ADC inserts as the source IP address in all SNMP trap messages that it sends to this trap listener. By default this is the appliance’s NSIP or NSIP6 address, but you can specify an IPv4 MIP or SNIP/SNIP6 address. In cluster setup, the default value is the individual node’s NSIP, but it can be set to CLIP or Striped SNIP address. In non default partition, this parameter must be set to the SNIP/SNIP6 address.

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.

When unset, the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.

Choices:

  • "present" ← (default)

  • "absent"

  • "unset"

td

any

Integer value that uniquely identifies the traffic domain in which you want to configure the entity. If you do not specify an ID, the entity becomes part of the default traffic domain, which has an ID of 0.

trapclass

any

Type of trap messages that the Citrix ADC sends to the trap listener: Generic or the enterprise-specific messages defined in the MIB file.

Choices:

  • "generic"

  • "specific"

trapdestination

any

IPv4 or the IPv6 address of the trap listener to which the Citrix ADC is to send SNMP trap messages.

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)

version

any

SNMP version, which determines the format of trap messages sent to the trap listener.

This setting must match the setting on the trap listener. Otherwise, the listener drops the trap messages.
