salt.modules.netscaler

Module to provide Citrix Netscaler compatibility to Salt (compatible with netscaler 9.2+)

New in version 2015.2.0.

depends:

  • nsnitro Python module

Note

You can install nsnitro using:

pip install nsnitro
configuration:

This module accepts connection configuration details either as parameters, or as configuration settings in /etc/salt/minion on the relevant minions

netscaler.host: 1.2.3.4
netscaler.user: user
netscaler.pass: password

This data can also be passed into pillar. Options passed into opts will overwrite options passed into pillar.

CLI Examples:

Calls relying on configuration passed using /etc/salt/minion, grains, or pillars:

salt-call netscaler.server_exists server_name

Calls passing configuration as opts

salt-call netscaler.server_exists server_name netscaler_host=1.2.3.4 netscaler_user=username netscaler_pass=password
salt-call netscaler.server_exists server_name netscaler_host=1.2.3.5 netscaler_user=username2 netscaler_pass=password2
salt-call netscaler.server_enable server_name2 netscaler_host=1.2.3.5
salt-call netscaler.server_up server_name3 netscaler_host=1.2.3.6 netscaler_useSSL=False
