Parameters

Parameter Choices/Defaults Comments
api_user
string
The OCID of the user, on whose behalf, OCI APIs are invoked. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_ID environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the user is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the user's OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_fingerprint
string
Fingerprint for the key pair being used. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_FINGERPRINT environment variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key fingerprint is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the key pair's fingerprint value please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm.
api_user_key_file
string
Full path and filename of the private key (in PEM format). If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_FILE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the private key is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). If the key is encrypted with a pass-phrase, the api_user_key_pass_phrase option must also be provided.
api_user_key_pass_phrase
string
Passphrase used by the key referenced in api_user_key_file, if it is encrypted. If not set, then the value of the OCI_USER_KEY_PASS_PHRASE variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the key passphrase is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location).
auth_purpose
string
    Choices:

The auth purpose which can be used in conjunction with 'auth_type=instance_principal'. The default auth_purpose for instance_principal is None.
auth_type
string
    Choices:
  • api_key ←
  • instance_principal
  • instance_obo_user
  • resource_principal
The type of authentication to use for making API requests. By default auth_type="api_key" based authentication is performed and the API key (see api_user_key_file) in your config file will be used. If this 'auth_type' module option is not specified, the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_AUTH_TYPE, if any, is used. Use auth_type="instance_principal" to use instance principal based authentication when running ansible playbooks within an OCI compute instance.
cert_bundle
string
The full path to a CA certificate bundle to be used for SSL verification. This will override the default CA certificate bundle. If not set, then the value of the OCI_ANSIBLE_CERT_BUNDLE variable, if any, is used.

The profile to load from the config file referenced by config_file_location. If not set, then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_PROFILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to the "DEFAULT" profile in config_file_location.
file_system_id
string
The OCID of the file system.
Required to list multiple snapshots.
lifecycle_state
string
    Choices:
  • CREATING
  • ACTIVE
  • DELETING
  • DELETED
  • FAILED
Filter results by the specified lifecycle state. Must be a valid state for the resource type.
name
string
Use name along with the other options to return only resources that match the given name exactly.
region
string
The Oracle Cloud Infrastructure region to use for all OCI API requests. If not set, then the value of the OCI_REGION variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the region is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). Please refer to https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/General/Concepts/regions.htm for more information on OCI regions.
snapshot_id
string
The OCID of the snapshot.
Required to get a specific snapshot.

aliases: id
sort_order
string
    Choices:
  • ASC
  • DESC
The sort order to use, either 'asc' or 'desc', where 'asc' is ascending and 'desc' is descending. The default order is 'desc' except for numeric values.
tenancy
string
OCID of your tenancy. If not set, then the value of the OCI_TENANCY variable, if any, is used. This option is required if the tenancy OCID is not specified through a configuration file (See config_file_location). To get the tenancy OCID, please refer https://docs.us-phoenix-1.oraclecloud.com/Content/API/Concepts/apisigningkey.htm

Sample:
[{'defined_tags': {'Operations': {'CostCenter': 'US'}}, 'file_system_id': 'ocid1.filesystem.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx', 'freeform_tags': {'Department': 'Finance'}, 'id': 'ocid1.resource.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx', 'is_clone_source': True, 'lifecycle_details': 'lifecycle_details_example', 'lifecycle_state': 'CREATING', 'name': 'name_example', 'provenance_id': 'ocid1.provenance.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx', 'snapshot_time': '2013-10-20T19:20:30+01:00', 'snapshot_type': 'USER', 'time_created': '2013-10-20T19:20:30+01:00'}]
 
defined_tags
dictionary
on success
Defined tags for this resource. Each key is predefined and scoped to a namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: `{"Operations": {"CostCenter": "42"}}`

Sample:
{'Operations': {'CostCenter': 'US'}}
 
file_system_id
string
on success
The OCID of the file system from which the snapshot was created.

Sample:
ocid1.filesystem.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
 
freeform_tags
dictionary
on success
Free-form tags for this resource. Each tag is a simple key-value pair with no predefined name, type, or namespace. For more information, see Resource Tags. Example: `{"Department": "Finance"}`

Sample:
{'Department': 'Finance'}
 
id
string
on success
The OCID of the snapshot.

Sample:
ocid1.resource.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
 
is_clone_source
boolean
on success
Specifies whether the snapshot has been cloned. See Cloning a File System.

Sample:
True
 
lifecycle_details
string
on success
Additional information about the current `lifecycleState`.

Sample:
lifecycle_details_example
 
lifecycle_state
string
on success
The current state of the snapshot.

Sample:
CREATING
 
name
string
on success
Name of the snapshot. This value is immutable.
Avoid entering confidential information.
Example: `Sunday`

Sample:
name_example
 
provenance_id
string
on success
An OCID identifying the parent from which this snapshot was cloned. If this snapshot was not cloned, then the `provenanceId` is the same as the snapshot `id` value. If this snapshot was cloned, then the `provenanceId` value is the parent's `provenanceId`. See Cloning a File System.

Sample:
ocid1.provenance.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx
 
snapshot_time
string
on success
The date and time the snapshot was taken, expressed in RFC 3339 timestamp format. This value might be the same or different from `timeCreated` depending on the following factors: - If the snapshot is created in the original file system directory. - If the snapshot is cloned from a file system. - If the snapshot is replicated from a file system.
Example: `2020-08-25T21:10:29.600Z`

Sample:
2013-10-20T19:20:30+01:00
 
snapshot_type
string
on success
Specifies generation type of the snapshot.

Sample:
USER
