Configuration for GSLB site resource.

Inputs

    
clip:

      for GSLB auto-sync. Note: The cluster IP address is defined when creating the cluster.'

nsip:
    description:
    - The ip address of the NetScaler ADC appliance where the nitro API calls will be

    required: true
    type: str

    choices:
    - present
    - absent

    default: present
    description:
    - The state of the resource being configured by the module on the NetScaler ADC node.
    - When C(present), the resource will be added/updated configured according to the
      module's parameters.
    - When C(absent), the resource will be deleted from the NetScaler ADC node.
    - When C(unset), the resource will be unset on the NetScaler ADC node.
    type: str

api_path:
    default: nitro/v1/config
    description:
    - Base NITRO API path.
    - Define only in case of an ADM service proxy call
    type: str

publicip:
    description:
    - Public IP address for the local site. Required only if the appliance is deployed
      in a private address space and the site has a public IP address hosted on an external
      firewall or a NAT device.
    type: str

sitename:
    description:
    - Name for the GSLB site. Must begin with an ASCII alphanumeric or underscore (_)
      character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period

      changed after the virtual server is created.

    type: str

sitetype:
    choices:
    - REMOTE
    - LOCAL
    description:
    - Type of site to create. If the type is not specified, the appliance automatically
      detects and sets the type on the basis of the IP address being assigned to the site.
      If the specified site IP address is owned by the appliance (for example, a MIP address
      or SNIP address), the site is a local site. Otherwise, it is a remote site.
    type: str

nitro_pass:
    description:
    - The password with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.
    required: false
    type: str

nitro_user:
    description:
    - The username with which to authenticate to the NetScaler ADC node.
    required: false
    type: str

parentsite:
    description:
    - Parent site of the GSLB site, in a parent-child topology.
    type: str

publicclip:
    description:
    - IP address to be used to globally access the remote cluster when it is deployed
      behind a NAT. It can be same as the normal cluster IP address.
    type: str

save_config:
    default: false
    description:
    - If C(true) the module will save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it
      makes any changes.
    - The module will not save the configuration on the NetScaler ADC node if it made
      no changes.
    type: bool

siteipaddress:
    description:
    - IP address for the GSLB site. The GSLB site uses this IP address to communicate
      with other GSLB sites. For a local site, use any IP address that is owned by the
      appliance (for example, a SNIP or MIP address, or the IP address of the ADNS service).
    type: str

metricexchange:
    choices:
    - ENABLED
    - DISABLED
    description:
    - Exchange metrics with other sites. Metrics are exchanged by using Metric Exchange
      Protocol (MEP). The appliances in the GSLB setup exchange health information once
      every second.
    - ''
    - If you disable metrics exchange, you can use only static load balancing methods
      (such as round robin, static proximity, or the hash-based methods), and if you disable
      metrics exchange when a dynamic load balancing method (such as least connection)
      is in operation, the appliance falls back to round robin. Also, if you disable metrics
      exchange, you must use a monitor to determine the state of GSLB services. Otherwise,
      the service is marked as DOWN.
    type: str

    - '* C(ALWAYS) - Monitor the GSLB service at all times.'
    - '* C(MEPDOWN) - Monitor the GSLB service only when the exchange of metrics through
      the Metrics Exchange Protocol (MEP) is disabled.'
    - 'C(MEPDOWN_SVCDOWN) - Monitor the service in either of the following situations:'
