graphiant.naas.graphiant_ntp module – Manage device-level NTP objects (edge.ntpGlobalObject)

Note

This module is part of the graphiant.naas collection (version 26.3.0).

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 graphiant.naas. You need further requirements to be able to use this module, see Requirements for details.

To use it in a playbook, specify: graphiant.naas.graphiant_ntp.

New in graphiant.naas 26.2.0

Synopsis 

Configure or delete device-level NTP objects under edge.ntpGlobalObject.
Reads a structured YAML config file and builds the raw device-config payload in Python.
Configure is idempotent: compares intended objects to existing device state and skips push when already matched.
Deconfigure deletes only the objects listed in the YAML by setting config: null per object.

Requirements 

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

python >= 3.7
graphiant-sdk >= 25.12.1

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. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
host aliases: base_url string / required	Graphiant portal host URL for API connectivity. Example: “https://api.graphiant.com”
ntp_config_file string / required	Path to the NTP YAML file. Can be an absolute path or relative to the configured config_path. Expected top-level key is `ntpGlobalObject` (list of devices).
operation string	Specific operation to perform. `configure` creates/updates NTP objects listed in the config. `deconfigure` deletes listed NTP objects by setting `config=null`. Choices: `"configure"` `"deconfigure"`
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`.
state string	Desired state for NTP objects. `present` maps to `configure`; `absent` maps to `deconfigure` if operation not set. 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 In check mode, no configuration is pushed to devices, but the module still reads current device state to determine whether changes would be made. Payloads that would be pushed are logged with a `[check_mode]` prefix.	Supports check mode.

Notes 

Note

This module manages NTP objects directly on devices (device config API), not the portal-wide global config.
Configuration files support Jinja2 templating syntax for dynamic configuration generation.
Deconfigure payload uses config: null per object; this module preserves nulls in the final payload pushed to the API.

Examples 

- name: Configure device-level NTP objects
  graphiant.naas.graphiant_ntp:
    operation: configure
    ntp_config_file: "sample_device_ntp.yaml"
    host: "{{ graphiant_host }}"
    username: "{{ graphiant_username }}"
    password: "{{ graphiant_password }}"
    detailed_logs: true
  register: ntp_result
  no_log: true

- name: Deconfigure device-level NTP objects
  graphiant.naas.graphiant_ntp:
    operation: deconfigure
    ntp_config_file: "sample_device_ntp.yaml"
    host: "{{ graphiant_host }}"
    username: "{{ graphiant_username }}"
    password: "{{ graphiant_password }}"
    detailed_logs: true

Return Values 

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

Key	Description
changed boolean	Whether the operation would push config to at least one device. In check mode (`--check`), no configuration is pushed, but `changed` reflects whether changes would be made. Returned: always
configured_devices list / elements=string	Device names where configuration was pushed (when changed=true). Returned: when supported
msg string	Result message (includes detailed logs when enabled). Returned: always
ntp_config_file string	The NTP config file used for the operation. Returned: always
operation string	The operation performed. Returned: always
skipped_devices list / elements=string	Device names that were skipped because desired state already matched. Returned: when supported
