ConfigSync

I don't see a call in the API for this, but it's a great idea. It would be a feature request for iControl, submitted via a support case.

You can pull this already via the API. The status indicator that you see in the GUI is determined by the value of a DB variable named 'configsync.state'. Here's some sample code and the output that I get from running it.

 

 

 

C:\dev\Python27\pycontrol_scripts>python configsync_status.py

 

3 - Config modified on both systems, manual intervention required

 

 

!/usr/bin/python

import pycontrol.pycontrol as pc

myLTM = pc.BIGIP(hostname = '192.168.1.100', username = 'admin', password = 'password', fromurl=True, wsdls = ['Management.DBVariable']);

myState = myLTM.Management.DBVariable.query( ['configsync.state']);

print myState[0].value;

 

 

Edit:

 

 

The response codes are basically

 

 

0 - Synchronized

 

1 - Local config modified, recommend configsync to peer

 

2 - Peer config modified, recommend configsync from peer

 

3 - Config modified on both system, manual intervention required

 

 

 

So to use your Green or Red status then Green = 0 and everything else is Red.

 

Nice one Joe, makes perfect sense - I forget about the DBVariable wsdl, excellent stuff!

Indeed, many thanks! Will try this out soon!
