module: iptables_state
short_description: Save iptables state into a file or restore it from a file
version_added: '1.1.0'
author: quidame (@quidame)
description:
  - C(iptables) is used to set up, maintain, and inspect the tables of IP
    packet filter rules in the Linux kernel.
  - This module handles the saving and/or loading of rules. This is the same
    as the behaviour of the C(iptables-save) and C(iptables-restore) (or
    C(ip6tables-save) and C(ip6tables-restore) for IPv6) commands which this
    module uses internally.
  - Modifying the state of the firewall remotely may lead to loose access to
    the host in case of mistake in new ruleset. This module embeds a rollback
    feature to avoid this, by telling the host to restore previous rules if a
    cookie is still there after a given delay, and all this time telling the
    controller to try to remove this cookie on the host through a new
    connection.
notes:
  - The rollback feature is not a module option and depends on task's
    attributes. To enable it, the module must be played asynchronously, i.e.
    by setting task attributes I(poll) to C(0), and I(async) to a value less
    or equal to C(ANSIBLE_TIMEOUT). If I(async) is greater, the rollback will
    still happen if it shall happen, but you will experience a connection
    timeout instead of more relevant info returned by the module after its
    failure.
  - This module supports I(check_mode).
options:
  counters:
    description:
      - Save or restore the values of all packet and byte counters.
      - When C(true), the module is not idempotent.
    type: bool
    default: false
  ip_version:
    description:
      - Which version of the IP protocol this module should apply to.
    type: str
    choices: [ ipv4, ipv6 ]
    default: ipv4
  modprobe:
    description:
      - Specify the path to the C(modprobe) program internally used by iptables
        related commands to load kernel modules.
      - By default, C(/proc/sys/kernel/modprobe) is inspected to determine the
        executable's path.
    type: path
  noflush:
    description:
      - For I(state=restored), ignored otherwise.
      - If C(false), restoring iptables rules from a file flushes (deletes)
        all previous contents of the respective table(s). If C(true), the
        previous rules are left untouched (but policies are updated anyway,
        for all built-in chains).
    type: bool
    default: false
  path:
    description:
      - The file the iptables state should be saved to.
      - The file the iptables state should be restored from.
    type: path
    required: yes
  state:
    description:
      - Whether the firewall state should be saved (into a file) or restored
        (from a file).
    type: str
    choices: [ saved, restored ]
    required: yes
  table:
    description:
      - When I(state=restored), restore only the named table even if the input
        file contains other tables. Fail if the named table is not declared in
        the file.
      - When I(state=saved), restrict output to the specified table. If not
        specified, output includes all active tables.
    type: str
    choices: [ filter, nat, mangle, raw, security ]
  wait:
    description:
      - Wait N seconds for the xtables lock to prevent instant failure in case
        multiple instances of the program are running concurrently.
    type: int
requirements: [iptables, ip6tables]
