|
cert_validation_mode string added in azure.azcollection 0.0.1 | Controls the certificate validation behavior for Azure endpoints.

condition dictionary | The condition that will cause this alert to activate. |
|
all_of list / elements=dictionary |
The list of Activity Log Alert rule conditions. |
|
any_of list / elements=dictionary |
An Activity Log Alert rule condition that is met when at least one of its member leaf conditions are met. |
|
contains_any list / elements=string |
The value of the event’s field will be compared to the values in this array (case-insensitive) to determine if the condition is met. |
|
equals string |
The value of the event’s field will be compared to this value (case-insensitive) to determine if the condition is met. |
|
field string |

disable_instance_discovery boolean added in azure.azcollection 2.3.0 | Determines whether or not instance discovery is performed when attempting to authenticate. Setting this to true will completely disable both instance discovery and authority validation. This functionality is intended for use in scenarios where the metadata endpoint cannot be reached such as in private clouds or Azure Stack. The process of instance discovery entails retrieving authority metadata from https://login.microsoft.com/ to validate the authority. By setting this to **True**, the validation of the authority is disabled. As a result, it is crucial to ensure that the configured authority host is valid and trustworthy. Set via credential file profile or the Choices:
|
enabled boolean | Indicates whether this activity log alert is enabled. If an activity log alert is not enabled, then none of its receivers will receive communications. Server side default false -- should be true. https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/issues/35343 Choices:
|
location string | Location of the activity log alert. Should be optional, but is not optional on creation. https://github.com/Azure/azure-rest-api-specs/issues/35342 Activity log alerts are usually ‘Global’. On creation module will default to ‘Global’ if unspecified. |
log_mode string | Parent argument. |
log_path string | Parent argument. |
name string / required | The name of the activity log alert you’re creating, updating or deleting. |
oidc_token string added in azure.azcollection 3.17.0 | Direct OpenID Connect (OIDC) token (JWT) used for workload identity authentication. This token is exchanged with Azure AD using OIDC federated identity. Useful in CI systems (for example GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps) where an OIDC token is provided directly by the platform. Can also be set via the |
oidc_token_file_path path added in azure.azcollection 3.17.0 | Path to a file containing an OpenID Connect (OIDC) token (JWT) used for workload identity authentication.

profile string | Security profile found in ~/.azure/credentials file. |
resource_group string / required | The name of the resource group |
scopes list / elements=string | A list of resource IDs that will be used as prefixes. The alert will only apply to Activity Log events with resource IDs that fall under one of these prefixes. This list must include at least one item for creation. |

state string | State of the activity log alert. Use Use Choices:
|
subscription_id string | Your Azure subscription Id. |

Notes
Note
- For authentication with Azure you can pass parameters, set environment variables, use a profile stored in ~/.azure/credentials, or log in before you run your tasks or playbook with
az login. - Authentication is also possible using a service principal or Active Directory user.
- To authenticate via OIDC, pass client_id, tenant and oidc_token or oidc_token_file_path, or set environment variables AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_TENANT and AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN or AZURE_FEDERATED_TOKEN_FILE.
- To authenticate via service principal, pass subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or set environment variables AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID, AZURE_CLIENT_ID, AZURE_SECRET and AZURE_TENANT.
- To authenticate via Active Directory user, pass ad_user and password, or set AZURE_AD_USER and AZURE_PASSWORD in the environment.
- Alternatively, credentials can be stored in ~/.azure/credentials. This is an ini file containing a [default] section and the following keys: subscription_id, client_id, secret and tenant or subscription_id, ad_user and password. It is also possible to add additional profiles. Specify the profile by passing profile or setting AZURE_PROFILE in the environment.
