CirrusAPI Calls to F5 limited to 1024 KB download
Hi, I am interacting with the F5 API in order to download ASM policies for the purpose of automating the backups. The process works fine however policies larger than 1024 KB are cut off at this size...
>>> Is there any drawback placing the files in the /shared/images location?
To my knowledge, none (other than the disk space issue).
The /shared/images directory is typically used for storing the BIG-IP iso images. If you have stored a bogus ISO 9660 file with the extension 'iso', it will show up in System > Software Management > Image List on GUI or 'tmsh list sys software images'. Since your ASM file is an XML, they should be benign. If you are super disk-space conscious, you can of course remove the file any time by calling the /mgmt/tm/util/unix-rm endpoint (specify the name of the file in the "utilCmdArgs" property).
