Can we connect once BIG-IP device and pull all the object details

Hi

 

 

We are using v4.5 and v9.1 version of BIG-IP and we are using appropriate API to connect to these BIG-IPs. Our application pulls data from from each object such as

 

1. VIP

 

2. Pool

 

3. Node

 

4. SNAT

 

5. Proxy etc.

 

 

We used WSDL generate classes for the API and calling the appropriate class files and authenticating and pulling the data from BIG-IP.

 

 

Do we have any means by which we can connect once to BIG-IP devices and pull all the object details in one shot?

 

 

we are currently doing something like this for pulling Pool details and similarly for other objects

 

 

oPoolConfig = new LocalLBPool();

 

oPoolConfig.Credentials = creds;

 

oPoolConfig.Url = urlBigIP;

 

oPoolConfig.PreAuthenticate = true;

 

 

So whats happening with this code is, we are authenticating and connecting to BIG-IP each time for pulling each object details.

 

 

Appreciate your response asap

 

 

Thanks

 

Jayaram

    I found this annoying as well,

     

     

    I just wrote a library that goes through and gets all the info, and puts it into a nice big object,

     

     

    Whenever i include that, I am getting that large object. So i dont have to worry about making 4 different soap connections anymore to get all the info i need to display. (those four different connections are still done. But i just dont have to worry about it)
