api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:
  • service_principal
The auth purpose which can be used in conjunction with 'auth_type=instance_principal'. The default auth_purpose for instance_principal is None.
auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
  • security_token
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
cert_bundle
string
The full path to a CA certificate bundle to be used for SSL verification. This will override the default CA certificate bundle. If not set, then the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_CERT_BUNDLE variable, if any, is used.
compartment_id
string
The OCID of the compartment containing the load balancers to return health status information for.
Required to list multiple load_balancer_healths.

aliases: id
config_file_location
string
Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name
string
The profile to load from the config file referenced by config_file_location. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in config_file_location.
load_balancer_id
string
The OCID of the load balancer to return health status for.
Required to get a specific load_balancer_health.

aliases: id
realm_specific_endpoint_template_enabled
boolean
    Choices:
  • no
  • yes
Enable/Disable realm specific endpoint template for service client. By Default, realm specific endpoint template is disabled. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REALM_SPECIFIC_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_TEMPLATE_ENABLED variable, if any, is used.
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
load_balancer_healths
complex
on success
List of LoadBalancerHealth resources

Sample:
[{'critical_state_backend_set_names': [], 'load_balancer_id': 'ocid1.loadbalancer.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx', 'status': 'OK', 'total_backend_set_count': 56, 'unknown_state_backend_set_names': [], 'warning_state_backend_set_names': []}]
 
critical_state_backend_set_names
list / elements=string
on success
A list of backend sets that are currently in the `CRITICAL` health state. The list identifies each backend set by the friendly name you assigned when you created it.
Example: `example_backend_set`
Returned for get operation
 
load_balancer_id
string
on success
The OCID of the load balancer the health status is associated with.
Returned for list operation

Sample:
ocid1.loadbalancer.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
 
status
string
on success
The overall health status of the load balancer.
* **OK:** All backend sets associated with the load balancer return a status of `OK`.
* **WARNING:** At least one of the backend sets associated with the load balancer returns a status of `WARNING`, no backend sets return a status of `CRITICAL`, and the load balancer life cycle state is `ACTIVE`.
* **CRITICAL:** One or more of the backend sets associated with the load balancer return a status of `CRITICAL`.
* **UNKNOWN:** If any one of the following conditions is true:
* The load balancer life cycle state is not `ACTIVE`.
* No backend sets are defined for the load balancer.
* More than half of the backend sets associated with the load balancer return a status of `UNKNOWN`, none of the backend sets return a status of `WARNING` or `CRITICAL`, and the load balancer life cycle state is `ACTIVE`.
* The system could not retrieve metrics for any reason.

Sample:
OK
 
total_backend_set_count
integer
on success
The total number of backend sets associated with this load balancer.
Example: `4`
Returned for get operation

Sample:
56
 
unknown_state_backend_set_names
list / elements=string
on success
A list of backend sets that are currently in the `UNKNOWN` health state. The list identifies each backend set by the friendly name you assigned when you created it.
Example: `example_backend_set2`
Returned for get operation
 
warning_state_backend_set_names
list / elements=string
on success
A list of backend sets that are currently in the `WARNING` health state. The list identifies each backend set by the friendly name you assigned when you created it.
