Notes

Note

  • Running in workspace locking mode is supported in this FortiManager module, the top level parameters workspace_locking_adom and workspace_locking_timeout help do the work.

  • To create or update an object, use state: present directive.

  • To delete an object, use state: absent directive

  • Normally, running one module can fail when a non-zero rc is returned. you can also override the conditions to fail or succeed with parameters rc_failed and rc_succeeded

Common return values are documented: https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/reference_appendices/common_return_values.html#common-return-values, the following are the fields unique to this module:

  • meta - The result of the request.returned: always type: dict
    • request_url - The full url requested. returned: always type: str sample: /sys/login/user
    • response_code - The status of api request. returned: always type: int sample: 0
    • response_data - The data body of the api response. returned: optional type: list or dict
    • response_message - The descriptive message of the api response. returned: always type: str sample: OK
    • system_information - The information of the target system. returned: always type: dict
  • rc - The status the request. returned: always type: int sample: 0
  • version_check_warning - Warning if the parameters used in the playbook are not supported by the current FortiManager version. returned: if at least one parameter not supported by the current FortiManager version type: list

Status

  • This module is not guaranteed to have a backwards compatible interface.
