adding a new field for comments. is it possible?

hi all, i want to know if its possible to add another description (or a comments/notes field) for us to put ticket numbers/change references in? The description field when adding is already in use. we are running LTM 13.1.07 due to upgrade to 14.1.02 soon but its so we can track who owns each VIP etc

 

Thanks in advance

    Hi Spark1985,

    you can't add additional configuration object fields. But you could organize the description field value as a list-item...

    root@(f501)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify ltm virtual Test description "Some blah blah"
root@(f501)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual Test description 
ltm virtual Test {
    description "Some blah blah"
}
root@(f501)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) modify ltm virtual Test description "Some blah blah | TicketID: 1337"
root@(f501)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos) list ltm virtual Test description
ltm virtual Test {
    description "Some blah blah | TicketID: 1337"
}
root@(f501)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)

    Cheers, Kai
