oracle.oci.oci_management_dashboard_actions – Perform actions on a ManagementDashboard resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

Note

This plugin is part of the oracle.oci collection (version 4.14.0).

You might already have this collection installed if you are using the ansible package. It is not included in ansible-core. To check whether it is installed, run ansible-galaxy collection list.

To install it, use: ansible-galaxy collection install oracle.oci.

To use it in a playbook, specify: oracle.oci.oci_management_dashboard_actions.

New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

  • Perform actions on a ManagementDashboard resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For action=export_dashboard, exports an array of dashboards and their saved searches. Export is designed to work with importDashboard. Here’s an example of how you can use CLI to export a dashboard: $oci management-dashboard dashboard export –query data –export-dashboard-id “{"dashboardIds":["ocid1.managementdashboard.oc1..dashboardId1"]}” > dashboards.json

  • For action=import_dashboard, imports an array of dashboards and their saved searches. Here’s an example of how you can use CLI to import a dashboard. For information on the details that must be passed to IMPORT, you can use the EXPORT API to obtain the Import.json file: oci management-dashboard dashboard export –query data –export-dashboard-id “{"dashboardIds":["ocid1.managementdashboard.oc1..dashboardId1"]}” > Import.json. Note that import API updates the resource if it already exists, and creates a new resource if it does not exist. To import to a different compartment, edit and change the compartmentId to the desired compartment OCID. Here’s an example of how you can use CLI to import: oci management-dashboard dashboard import –from-json file://Import.json

Requirements

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