+short_description: Various redis commands, slave and flush
+description:
+ - Unified utility to interact with redis instances.
+ 'slave' Sets a redis instance in slave or master mode.
+ 'flush' Flushes all the instance or ans specified db.
+version_added: "1.3"
+options:
+ command:
+ description:
+ - The selected redis command
+ required: true
+ default: null
+ choices: [ "slave", "flush" ]
+ login_password:
+ description:
+ - The password used to authenticate with (usually not used)
+ required: false
+ default: null
+ login_host:
+ description:
+ - The host running the database
+ required: false
+ default: localhost
+ login_port:
+ description:
+ - The port to connect to
+ required: false
+ default: 6379
+ master_host:
+ description:
+ - The host of the master instance [slave command]
+ required: false
+ default: null
+ master_port:
+ description:
+ - The port of the master instance [slave command]
+ required: false
+ default: null
+ slave_mode:
+ description:
+ - the mode of the redis instance [slave command]
+ required: false
+ default: slave
+ choices: [ "master", "slave" ]
+ db:
+ description:
+ - The database to flush (used in db mode) [flush command]
+ required: false
+ default: null
+ flush_mode:
+ description:
+ - Type of flush (all the dbs in a redis instance or a specific one)
+ [flush command]
+ required: false
+ default: all
+ choices: [ "all", "db" ]
+
+
+notes:
+ - Requires the redis-py Python package on the remote host. You can
+ install it with pip (pip install redis) or with a package manager.
+ https://github.com/andymccurdy/redis-py
+ - If the redis master instance we are making slave of is password protected
+ this needs to be in the redis.conf in the masterauth variable
