Parameters 

Parameter	Comments
abort_on_timeout boolean	Send a job abort request if exceeded the `wait_execution_timeout` specified. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
api_token string / required	Rundeck User API Token.
api_version integer	Rundeck API version to be used. API version must be at least 14. Default: `39`
client_cert path	PEM formatted certificate chain file to be used for SSL client authentication. This file can also include the key as well, and if the key is included, `client_key` is not required.
client_key path	PEM formatted file that contains your private key to be used for SSL client authentication. If `client_cert` contains both the certificate and key, this option is not required.
filter_nodes string	Filter the nodes where the jobs must run. See https://docs.rundeck.com/docs/manual/11-node-filters.html#node-filter-syntax.
force boolean	If `yes` do not get a cached copy. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
force_basic_auth boolean	Credentials specified with `url_username` and `url_password` should be passed in HTTP Header. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
http_agent string	Header to identify as, generally appears in web server logs. Default: `"ansible-httpget"`
job_id string / required	The job unique ID.
job_options dictionary	The job options for the steps. Numeric values must be quoted.
loglevel string	Log level configuration. Choices: `"debug"` `"verbose"` `"info"` ← (default) `"warn"` `"error"`
run_at_time string	Schedule the job execution to run at specific date and time. ISO-8601 date and time format like `2021-10-05T15:45:00-03:00`.
url string / required	Rundeck instance URL.
url_password string	The password for use in HTTP basic authentication. If the `url_username` parameter is not specified, the `url_password` parameter will not be used.
url_username string	The username for use in HTTP basic authentication. This parameter can be used without `url_password` for sites that allow empty passwords.
use_gssapi boolean added in ansible-core 2.11	Use GSSAPI to perform the authentication, typically this is for Kerberos or Kerberos through Negotiate authentication. Requires the Python library gssapi to be installed. Credentials for GSSAPI can be specified with `url_username`/`url_password` or with the GSSAPI env var `KRB5CCNAME` that specified a custom Kerberos credential cache. NTLM authentication is not supported even if the GSSAPI mech for NTLM has been installed. Choices: `false` ← (default) `true`
use_proxy boolean	If `no`, it will not use a proxy, even if one is defined in an environment variable on the target hosts. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
validate_certs boolean	If `no`, SSL certificates will not be validated. This should only be used on personally controlled sites using self-signed certificates. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
wait_execution boolean	Wait until the job finished the execution. Choices: `false` `true` ← (default)
wait_execution_delay integer	Delay, in seconds, between job execution status check requests. Default: `5`
wait_execution_timeout integer	Job execution wait timeout in seconds. If the timeout is reached, the job will be aborted. Keep in mind that there is a sleep based on `wait_execution_delay` after each job status check. Default: `120`
