    - The user-defined description of the generic parser profile.
    type: str

no_response:
    description:
    - When set, matching of responses to requests is disabled.
    type: bool

max_msg_size:
    description:
    - Specifies the maximum size of a received message. If a message exceeds this size,
      the connection will be reset.
    - The accepted range is between 0 and 4294967295 inclusive.

disable_parser:
