The IP address of the BIG-IP device to be imported/managed.
|
|||
|
device_conflict_policy
string
|
|
Sets the conflict resolution policy for objects that are specific to a particular to a BIG-IP device and not shared among BIG-IP devices.
|
||
|
device_password
string
|
The administrator password for the BIG-IP device.
This parameter is only required when adding a new BIG-IP device to be managed.
|
|||
|
device_port
integer
|
Default: 443
|
The port on which a device trust setup between BIG-IQ and BIG-IP should happen.
|
||
|
device_username
string

The administrator username for the BIG-IP device.
This parameter is only required when adding a new BIG-IP device to be managed.
|
|||
|
force
boolean
|
|
Forces rediscovery and import of existing modules on the managed BIG-IP.
|
||
|
ha_name
string

This is optional if the managed device is not a part of a cluster group.
When
use_bigiq_sync is set to yes, this parameter is required. |
|||
|
modules
list
/ elements=string
|
|
List of modules to be discovered and imported into the device.
These modules must be provisioned on the target device, otherwise operation will fail.
The

asm or afm are specified, the shared_security module also needs to be declared. |
||
|
state
string
|
|
The state of the managed device on the system.
When
present, enables new device addition as well as device rediscovery/import.When
absent, completely removes the device from the system. |

|
|||
|
enable
boolean
|
|
Enables statistics collection on a device.
|

|
Specifies the interval the data is collected from the discovered device, in seconds.
|
||
|
stat_modules
list
/ elements=string
|
["device", "ltm"]
|
Specifies for which modules the data is being collected.
|
||
|
zone
string
|
Default: "default"
|
Specifies in which DCD zone is collecting the data from device.
|

|
use_bigiq_sync
boolean
|
|
When set to true, BIG-IQ manually synchronizes configuration changes between members in a DSC cluster.
|
||
|
versioned_conflict_policy
string
|
|
