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_monitoring_metric_data.

New in version 2.9.0: of oracle.oci

Synopsis

  • This module allows the user to create a MetricData resource in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • For state=present, publishes raw metric data points to the Monitoring service. For more information about publishing metrics, see Publishing Custom Metrics. For important limits information, see Limits on Monitoring.

  • Per-call limits information follows.

    • Dimensions per metric group*. Maximum: 20. Minimum: 1. * Unique metric streams*. Maximum: 50. * Transactions Per Second (TPS) per-tenancy limit for this operation: 50.

  • *A metric group is the combination of a given metric, metric namespace, and tenancy for the purpose of determining limits. A dimension is a qualifier provided in a metric definition. A metric stream is an individual set of aggregated data for a metric with zero or more dimension values. For more information about metric-related concepts, see Monitoring Concepts.

  • The endpoints for this operation differ from other Monitoring operations. Replace the string telemetry with telemetry-ingestion in the endpoint, as in the following example:

  • https://telemetry-ingestion.eu-frankfurt-1.oraclecloud.com

  • This resource has the following action operations in the oracle.oci.oci_monitoring_metric_data_actions module: summarize_metrics_data.

Requirements

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

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:
  • service_principal
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.
batch_atomicity
string
    Choices:
  • ATOMIC
  • NON_ATOMIC
Batch atomicity behavior. Requires either partial or full pass of input validation for metric objects in PostMetricData requests. The default value of NON_ATOMIC requires a partial pass: at least one metric object in the request must pass input validation, and any objects that failed validation are identified in the returned summary, along with their error messages. A value of ATOMIC requires a full pass: all metric objects in the request must pass input validation.
Example: `NON_ATOMIC`
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.
config_file_location
string
Path to configuration file. If not set then the value of the OCI_CONFIG_FILE environment variable, if any, is used. Otherwise, defaults to ~/.oci/config.
config_profile_name
string
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.
content_encoding
string
The optional Content-Encoding header that defines the content encodings that were applied to the payload.
force_create
boolean
    Choices:
  • no ←
  • yes
Whether to attempt non-idempotent creation of a resource. By default, create resource is an idempotent operation, and doesn't create the resource if it already exists. Setting this option to true, forcefully creates a copy of the resource, even if it already exists.This option is mutually exclusive with key_by.
key_by
list / elements=string
The list of attributes of this resource which should be used to uniquely identify an instance of the resource. By default, all the attributes of a resource are used to uniquely identify a resource.
metric_data
list / elements=dictionary / required
A metric object containing raw metric data points to be posted to the Monitoring service.
compartment_id
string / required
The OCID of the compartment to use for metrics.
datapoints
list / elements=dictionary / required
