fortios_system_ntp – Configure system NTP information in Fortinet’s FortiOS and FortiGate.

New in version 2.0.0.

Synopsis

  • This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS (FOS) device by allowing the user to set and modify system feature and ntp category. Examples include all parameters and values need to be adjusted to datasources before usage. Tested with FOS v6.0.0

Requirements

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

  • ansible>=2.15

Tips

Using member operation to add an element to an existing object.

FortiOS Version Compatibility

Supported Version Ranges: v6.0.0 -> 7.4.3
