Synopsis

• Manage operations create, update and delete of the resource Discoverys.

• This API creates a discovery. The response includes a task `url` that provides access to the task's details.

• API to delete discovery by the given discovery id. - > API to edit the discovery details of the given discovery id. Updating the discovery details while the discovery is in progress is not allowed.

Note

This module has a corresponding action plugin.

Requirements

The below requirements are needed on the host that executes this module.

• catalystcentersdk >= 3.2.3.0.0

• python >= 3.12

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
catalystcenter_debug aliases: dnac_debug boolean	Flag for Cisco Catalyst Center SDK to enable debugging. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`false` ← (default) :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
catalystcenter_host aliases: dnac_host string / required	The Cisco Catalyst Center hostname.
catalystcenter_password aliases: dnac_password string	The Cisco Catalyst Center password to authenticate.
catalystcenter_port aliases: dnac_port, catalystcenter_api_port integer	The Cisco Catalyst Center port. Default: :ansible-option-default:`443`
catalystcenter_username aliases: dnac_username, user string	The Cisco Catalyst Center username to authenticate. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"admin"`
catalystcenter_verify aliases: dnac_verify boolean	Flag to enable or disable SSL certificate verification. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`true` ← (default)
catalystcenter_version aliases: dnac_version string	Informs the SDK which version of Cisco Catalyst Center to use. Default: :ansible-option-default:`"3.1.6.0"`
credentials dictionary	Credentials to be used for discovering devices. If multiple credentials are provided, they will be prioritized based on specificity and protocol version. Device-specific credentials take precedence over global credentials. Among SNMP versions, SNMPv3 credentials are given higher priority over SNMPv2 credentials.
cli dictionary	CLI credentials for device.
protocolOrder list / elements=string	Connection protocol for the device. Default value is SSH.
httpRead dictionary	HTTP(S) read credentials for device.
httpWrite dictionary	HTTP(S) write credentials for device.
netconf dictionary	NETCONF credentials for device.
snmp dictionary	SNMP credentials for device.
retries integer	The number of times to repeat the failed SNMP polling request after a timeout. Max value supported is 3. Default is Global SNMP retry (if exists) or 3.
timeout integer	The interval (in seconds) after which SNMP failure to respond to the polling request generates a timeout. Max value supported is 300. Default is Global SNMP timeout (if exists) or 5.
discoveryTypeDetails dictionary	Details of the discovery type.
id string	Unique identifier of the discovery settings.
managementIpSelectionMethod string	When Catalyst Center discovers a device, it uses one of the device's IP addresses as the preferred management IP address for the device. The IP address can be that of a built-in management interface of the device, another physical interface, or a logical interface like Loopback0. You can configure Catalyst Center to log the device's loopback IP address as the preferred management IP address, provided the IP address is reachable from Catalyst Center. - `DEFAULT` * Uses the IP address provided in the discovery request as the management IP. - `LOOPBACK` If you choose to use a device's loopback IP address as the preferred management IP address, Catalyst Center determines the preferred management IP address as follows * If the device has one loopback interface, that loopback interface IP address is used. * If the device has multiple loopback interfaces, the loopback interface with the highest IP address is used. * If there are no loopback interfaces, the Ethernet interface with the highest IP address is used. (Subinterface IP addresses are not considered.) * If there are no Ethernet interfaces, the serial interface with the highest IP address is used. Example LOOPBACK.
name string	The name of the discovery job being created. This will be a unique name.
onlyNewDevice boolean	This flag indicates to discover only new devices that are not in inventory. If set to `true`, only devices that are not in the inventory will be discovered. If set to `false`, devices that already exist in the inventory will not be listed in the `discovered devices` list. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
siteId string	The site id to which the discovered devices will be assigned.
updateManagementIp boolean	This flag indicates if the management IP address of existing devices to be updated as part of this discovery. If set false devices get discovered with the existing management IP address. If set true it overwrites the management IP address with the new IP address used in discovery. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry:`true`
validate_response_schema boolean	Flag for Cisco Catalyst Center SDK to enable the validation of request bodies against a JSON schema. Choices: :ansible-option-choices-entry:`false` :ansible-option-choices-entry-default:`true` ← (default)

Notes

Note

• SDK Method used are devices.Devices.creates_discovery, devices.Devices.deletes_discovery_by_id, devices.Devices.edits_discovery,

• Paths used are post /dna/intent/api/v1/discoverys, delete /dna/intent/api/v1/discoverys/{id}, put /dna/intent/api/v1/discoverys/{id},

• Does not support check_mode

• The plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins,

• but instead uses the embedded connection manager from Cisco CATALYST SDK

• Requires Python >= 3.10, matching the controller Python versions supported by the collection's minimum ansible-core version (see the collection README for the current ansible-core / Python compatibility range)
