add to ASM policy description

Is it possible too 'add' to an existing security policy description keeping the existing description information? Either through iControl or using a tmsh command.

    Not directly, but you can do it.

     

    >> TMSH

     

    • Get the old description.
    list asm policy TEST1 description
asm policy TEST1 {
    description "my_old_description"
}
    • Modify the description field.
    modify asm policy TEST1 description myold_description___my_new_description

     

    >> iControl REST

     

    • Get the policy code
    curl -sku admin:XXXX -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies | json-format | grep -A3 \"TEST1\"
      "name": "TEST1",
      "caseInsensitive": false,
      "loginPageReference": {
        "link": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/dp1jS1FtctV2ubWCQe0Bhg/login-pages?ver\u003d12.1.4",
    • Get the old description.
    curl -sku admin:XXXX -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/dp1jS1FtctV2ubWCQe0Bhg | json-format | grep description
  "description": "my_old_description",
    • Modify the description field.
    curl -sku admin:XXXX -X PATCH https://localhost/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/dp1jS1FtctV2ubWCQe0Bhg -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"description": "myold_description___my_new_description"}' | json-format
