Synopsis

  • Fetches details about one or multiple CachingRules resources in Oracle Cloud Infrastructure

  • Gets the currently configured caching rules for the Web Application Firewall configuration of a specified WAAS policy. The rules are processed in the order they are specified in and the first matching rule will be used when processing a request.

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.
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.
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.
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
waas_policy_id
string / required
The OCID of the WAAS policy.

Examples

- name: List caching_rules
  oci_waas_caching_rules_facts:
    # required
    waas_policy_id: "ocid1.waaspolicy.oc1..xxxxxxEXAMPLExxxxxx"

Return Values

Common return values are documented here, the following are the fields unique to this module:

Key Returned Description
caching_rules
complex
on success
List of CachingRules resources

Sample:
[{'action': 'CACHE', 'caching_duration': 'caching_duration_example', 'client_caching_duration': 'client_caching_duration_example', 'criteria': [{'condition': 'URL_IS', 'value': 'value_example'}], 'is_client_caching_enabled': True, 'key': 'key_example', 'name': 'name_example'}]
 
action
string
on success
The action to take when the criteria of a caching rule are met. - **CACHE:** Caches requested content when the criteria of the rule are met.
- **BYPASS_CACHE:** Allows requests to bypass the cache and be directed to the origin when the criteria of the rule is met.

Sample:
CACHE
 
caching_duration
string
on success
The duration to cache content for the caching rule, specified in ISO 8601 extended format. Supported units: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months. The maximum value that can be set for any unit is `99`. Mixing of multiple units is not supported. Only applies when the `action` is set to `CACHE`. Example: `PT1H`

Sample:
caching_duration_example
 
client_caching_duration
string
on success
The duration to cache content in the user's browser, specified in ISO 8601 extended format. Supported units: seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months. The maximum value that can be set for any unit is `99`. Mixing of multiple units is not supported. Only applies when the `action` is set to `CACHE`. Example: `PT1H`

Sample:
client_caching_duration_example
 
criteria
complex
on success
The array of the rule criteria with condition and value. The caching rule would be applied for the requests that matched any of the listed conditions.

   
condition
string
on success
The condition of the caching rule criteria. - **URL_IS:** Matches if the concatenation of request URL path and query is identical to the contents of the `value` field.
- **URL_STARTS_WITH:** Matches if the concatenation of request URL path and query starts with the contents of the `value` field.
- **URL_PART_ENDS_WITH:** Matches if the concatenation of request URL path and query ends with the contents of the `value` field.
- **URL_PART_CONTAINS:** Matches if the concatenation of request URL path and query contains the contents of the `value` field.
URLs must start with a `/`. URLs can't contain restricted double slashes `//`. URLs can't contain the restricted `'` `&` `?` symbols. Resources to cache can only be specified by a URL, any query parameters are ignored.

Sample:
URL_IS
   
value
string
on success
The value of the caching rule criteria.

Sample:
value_example
 
is_client_caching_enabled
boolean
on success
Enables or disables client caching. Browsers use the `Cache-Control` header value for caching content locally in the browser. This setting overrides the addition of a `Cache- Control` header in responses.

Sample:
True
 
key
string
on success
The unique key for the caching rule.

Sample:
key_example
 
name
string
on success
The name of the caching rule.

Sample:
name_example
