Synopsis ¶

Allow the syslog settings to be configured for an individual E-Series storage-system

Parameters ¶

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Comments
address		The syslog server's IPv4 address or a fully qualified hostname. All existing syslog configurations will be removed when state=absent and address=None.
api_password required		The password to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_url required		The url to the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
api_username required		The username to authenticate with the SANtricity Web Services Proxy or Embedded Web Services API.
components	Default: [u'auditLog']	The e-series logging components define the specific logs to transfer to the syslog server. At the time of writing, 'auditLog' is the only logging component but more may become available.
log_path		This argument specifies a local path for logging purposes.
port	Default: 514	This is the port the syslog server is using.
protocol	Choices: udp ← tcp tls	This is the transmission protocol the syslog server's using to receive syslog messages.
ssid required		The ID of the array to manage. This value must be unique for each array.
state	Choices: present ← absent	Add or remove the syslog server configuration for E-Series storage array. Existing syslog server configuration will be removed or updated when its address matches address. Fully qualified hostname that resolve to an IPv4 address that matches address will not be treated as a match.
test bool	Choices: no ← yes	This forces a test syslog message to be sent to the stated syslog server. Only attempts transmission when state=present.
validate_certs bool	Choices: no yes ←	Should https certificates be validated?

Notes ¶

Note

Check mode is supported.
This API is currently only supported with the Embedded Web Services API v2.12 (bundled with SANtricity OS 11.40.2) and higher.
The E-Series Ansible modules require either an instance of the Web Services Proxy (WSP), to be available to manage the storage-system, or an E-Series storage-system that supports the Embedded Web Services API.
Embedded Web Services is currently available on the E2800, E5700, EF570, and newer hardware models.
netapp_e_storage_system may be utilized for configuring the systems managed by a WSP instance.

Examples ¶
