config_verify

boolean

Set to True to verify the Cisco Catalyst Center config after applying the playbook config.

Choices:

dnac_api_task_timeout

integer

Defines the timeout in seconds for API calls to retrieve task details. If the task details are not received within this period, the process will end, and a timeout notification will be logged.

Default: :ansible-option-default:`1200`

dnac_debug

boolean

Flag for Cisco DNA Center SDK to enable debugging.

Choices:

dnac_host

string / required

The Cisco DNA Center hostname.

dnac_log

boolean

Flag to enable/disable playbook execution logging.

When true and dnac_log_file_path is provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the specified name.

When true and dnac_log_file_path is not provided, - Create the log file at the execution location with the name 'dnac.log'.

When false, - Logging is disabled.

If the log file doesn't exist, - It is created in append or write mode based on the "dnac_log_append" flag.

If the log file exists, - It is overwritten or appended based on the "dnac_log_append" flag.

Choices:

dnac_log_append

boolean

Determines the mode of the file. Set to True for 'append' mode. Set to False for 'write' mode.

Choices:

dnac_log_file_path

string

Governs logging. Logs are recorded if dnac_log is True.

If path is not specified, - When 'dnac_log_append' is True, 'dnac.log' is generated in the current Ansible directory; logs are appended. - When 'dnac_log_append' is False, 'dnac.log' is generated; logs are overwritten.

If path is specified, - When 'dnac_log_append' is True, the file opens in append mode. - When 'dnac_log_append' is False, the file opens in write (w) mode. - In shared file scenarios, without append mode, content is overwritten after each module execution. - For a shared log file, set append to False for the 1st module (to overwrite); for subsequent modules, set append to True.

  • Does not support check_mode

  • The plugin runs on the control node and does not use any ansible connection plugins, but instead the embedded connection manager from Cisco DNAC SDK

  • The parameters starting with dnac_ are used by the Cisco DNAC Python SDK to establish the connection
