About dossier

Hello, I have a question.. Why does the length of the dossier generated with the command line seem to be different? (much shorter) #get_dossier -b XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX Any help is appreciated.

Sorry, i probably asked the wrong questions.

From the start, you say you see a difference in dossier length.

Between which two types of generating a dossier?

    Hi boneyard,

    Thanks for your reply.

    #get_dossier -b XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

    Then F5 will generate the dossier,I'm just curious as to why the length of the dossier produced are different.

      ok, so always via #get_dossier -b XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX

      then where is the difference? if you do this on the same BIG-IP or on different ones?
