Synopsis

This module provides comprehensive site management capabilities for Graphiant Edge devices.
Supports site creation and deletion.
Enables attachment and detachment of global system objects to/from sites.
Can perform site-only operations or object attachment operations independently.
All operations use Jinja2 templates for consistent configuration deployment.
Configuration files support Jinja2 templating for dynamic generation.

Requirements

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

python >= 3.7
graphiant-sdk >= 26.4.0

Parameters

Parameter	Comments
access_token string	Bearer token for API authentication (for example, from `graphiant login`, which opens a browser for sign-in (SSO or non-SSO) and retrieves the token). If not passed as a module argument, the collection reads `GRAPHIANT_ACCESS_TOKEN` (set after `graphiant login` when you `source ~/.graphiant/env.sh`). When a bearer token is present (module argument or environment), it takes precedence over `username` and `password`. If no valid token is available, the module authenticates with `username` and `password` when both are supplied.
detailed_logs boolean	Enable detailed logging output for troubleshooting and monitoring. When enabled, provides comprehensive logs of all site operations. Logs are captured and included in the result_msg for display using ansible.builtin.debug module. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
host aliases: base_url string / required	Graphiant portal host URL for API connectivity. Example: “https://api.graphiant.com”
operation string	The specific site operation to perform. `configure`: Create sites and attach global objects in one operation. `deconfigure`: Detach global objects and delete sites in one operation. `configure_sites`: Create sites only (without attaching objects). `deconfigure_sites`: Delete sites only (without detaching objects). `attach_objects`: Attach global objects to existing sites. `detach_objects`: Detach global objects from sites (without deleting sites). Choices: `"configure"` `"deconfigure"` `"configure_sites"` `"deconfigure_sites"` `"attach_objects"` `"detach_objects"`
password string	Graphiant portal password for authentication. Required for password-based login when no valid bearer token is available from `access_token` or `GRAPHIANT_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
site_config_file string / required	Path to the site configuration YAML file. Required for all operations. Can be an absolute path or relative path. Relative paths are resolved using the configured config_path. Configuration files support Jinja2 templating syntax for dynamic generation. File must contain site definitions with site names and global object attachments.
state string	The desired state of the sites. `present`: Maps to `configure` when `operation` not specified. `absent`: Maps to `deconfigure` when `operation` not specified. Choices: `"present"` ← (default) `"absent"`
username string	Graphiant portal username for authentication. Required for password-based login when no valid bearer token is available from `access_token` or `GRAPHIANT_ACCESS_TOKEN`.

Attributes

Attribute	Support	Description
check_mode	Support: full When run with `--check`, the module logs the exact payloads that would be pushed with a `[check_mode]` prefix so you can see what configuration would be applied. The module does not perform state comparison, so `changed` may be `True` even when the configuration is already applied.	Supports check mode. In check mode, no configuration is pushed to the devices but payloads that would be pushed are logged with `[check_mode]`.

Notes

Note

Check mode (--check): No config is pushed; payloads that would be pushed are logged with [check_mode].
Use playbook playbooks/site_management.yml with tags configure_sites, deconfigure_sites,
attach_objects, detach_objects, configure, deconfigure.
Site Operations:
- configure: Create sites and attach global objects in one operation.
- deconfigure: Detach global objects and delete sites in one operation.
- configure_sites: Create sites only (without attaching objects).
- deconfigure_sites: Delete sites only (without detaching objects).
- attach_objects: Attach global objects to existing sites. Prerequisite: global objects created first.
- detach_objects: Detach global objects from sites (sites remain).
Configuration files support Jinja2 templating syntax for dynamic configuration generation.
The module automatically resolves site names and global object names to IDs.
All operations are idempotent and safe to run multiple times.
Global objects must be created using graphiant.naas.graphiant_global_config module before attaching to sites.

    password: "{{ graphiant_password }}"

- name: Deconfigure sites (detach objects and delete sites)
  graphiant.naas.graphiant_sites:
    operation: deconfigure
    site_config_file: "sample_sites.yaml"

    username: "{{ graphiant_username }}"
    password: "{{ graphiant_password }}"

- name: Configure sites using state parameter
  graphiant.naas.graphiant_sites:
    state: present
    site_config_file: "sample_sites.yaml"
    host: "{{ graphiant_host }}"
