file_ext_to_include list |  | File extensions for which scanning is considered.

File whose extension matches with both inclusion and exclusion list is not considered for scanning.
hostname string / required |  | The hostname or IP address of the ONTAP instance.
http_port integer |  | Override the default port (80 or 443) with this port
https boolean | Choices: no ← yes | Enable and disable https
max_file_size - |  | Max file-size (in bytes) allowed for scanning. The default value of 10737418240 (10GB) is taken if not provided at the time of creating a task.
ontapi integer |  | The ontap api version to use
password string / required |  | Password for the specified user. aliases: pass
paths_to_exclude list |  | File-paths for which scanning must not be performed.
report_directory - |  | Path from the vserver root where task report is created. The path must be a directory and provided in unix-format from the root of the Vserver. Example /vol1/on-demand-reports.
report_log_level - | Choices: verbose info error ← | Log level for the On-Demand report.
