TrendMicro DeepSecurity Ansible Collection

The Ansible TrendMicro DeepSecurity collection includes a variety of Ansible content to help automate the management of TrendMicro DeepSecurity Endpoint Security solutions.

Ansible version compatibility

This collection has been tested against following Ansible versions: >=2.15.0.

For collections that support Ansible 2.9, please ensure you update your network_os to use the fully qualified collection name (for example, cisco.ios.ios). Plugins and modules within a collection may be tested with only specific Ansible versions. A collection may contain metadata that identifies these versions. PEP440 is the schema used to describe the versions of Ansible.

Tested with Ansible

This collection has been tested against TrendMicro DeepSecurity with version 12.5.855.

External requirements

Included content

Httpapi plugins

Modules

Installing this collection

You can install the TrendMicro DeepSecurity collection with the Ansible Galaxy CLI:

ansible-galaxy collection install trendmicro.deepsec

You can also include it in a requirements.yml file and install it with ansible-galaxy collection install -r requirements.yml, using the format:

---
collections:
  - name: trendmicro.deepsec

Using TrendMicro DeepSecurity Ansible Collection

An example for using this collection to manage a TM deepsecurity policy resource TM DeepSecurity Polcies is as follows:

inventory.ini (Note the password should be managed by a Vault for a production environment. Trend Micro Deep security currently supports two ways as to how their REST API can be interacted with, and for each of the respective cases, the Ansible inventory will be changed slightly as mentioned below:

1. In case of the newer REST APIs the Ansible inventory will work with the network OS trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec, a Trend Micro api-secret-key and api-version key:

[deepsec]
host_deepsec.example.com

[deepsec:vars]
ansible_network_os=trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl=true
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs=false
ansible_connection=httpapi
ansible_python_interpreter=/usr/bin/python
ansible_httpapi_session_key={'api-secret-key': 'secret-key', 'api-version': 'v1'}

1. In case of APIs using the legacy REST APIs, the Ansible inventory will also require the network OS trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec, but uses a username and a password.

[deepsec]
host_deepsec.example.com

[deepsec:vars]
ansible_user=admin
ansible_httpapi_pass=password
ansible_httpapi_use_ssl=true
ansible_httpapi_validate_certs=false
ansible_connection=ansible.netcommon.httpapi
ansible_network_os=trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec
ansible_python_interpreter=python

Using the modules with Fully Qualified Collection Name (FQCN)

You can either call modules by their Fully Qualified Collection Namespace (FQCN), like trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec, or you can call modules by their short name if you list the trendmicro.deepsec collection in the playbook's collections, as follows:

---
- hosts: trendmicro
  gather_facts: false
  connection: httpapi

  collections:
    - trendmicro.deepsec

  tasks:
    - name: Create/Config a new Firewall Rule Config
      trendmicro.deepsec.deepsec_firewallrules:
        state: present
        name: test_firewallrule config
        description: test firewall description
        action: deny
        priority: 0
        source_iptype: any
        destination_iptype: any
        direction: incoming
        protocol: tcp
        tcpflags:
          - syn
