+module: fortios_ips_global
+short_description: Configure IPS global parameter in Fortinet's FortiOS and FortiGate.
+description:
+    - This module is able to configure a FortiGate or FortiOS by
+      allowing the user to configure ips feature and global category.
+      Examples includes all options and need to be adjusted to datasources before usage.
+      Tested with FOS v6.0.2
+version_added: "2.8"
