Description

Create or delete a Rackspace Cloud Monitoring entity, which represents a device to monitor. Entities associate checks and alarms with a target system and provide a convenient, centralized place to store IP addresses. Rackspace monitoring module flow | *rax_mon_entity* -> rax_mon_check -> rax_mon_notification -> rax_mon_notification_plan -> rax_mon_alarm.

This module relies on the C(pyrax) package which is deprecated in favour of using Openstack API.

Unless maintainers step up to work on the module, it will be marked as deprecated in community.general 7.0.0 and removed in version 9.0.0.

Requirements

• python >= 2.6
