ConfigurationVisualizer error

Hi,

 

I'm trying to implement this excellent tool : BigIP Configuration Visualizer...

 

My Bigip is in 10.2.4.

 

So, i followed this tutorial : https://devcentral.f5.com/codeshare?sid=64

 

But, when i execute this script, i get the following error :

 

./f5-gv.pl -t myf5.local -u myuser -p mypass
Uncaught exception from user code:
        500 Can't connect to myf5.local:443 at ./f5-gv.pl line 723.
        SOAP::Lite::__ANON__(SOAP::Lite=HASH(0x30c1028), "\x{a}not well-formed (invalid token) at line 1, column 3, byte 3 "...) called at /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 3801
        SOAP::Lite::call(SOAP::Lite=HASH(0x30c1028), "get_version") called at /usr/share/perl5/SOAP/Lite.pm line 3761
        SOAP::Lite::__ANON__(SOAP::Lite=HASH(0x30c1028)) called at ./f5-gv.pl line 723
        main::get_api_version() called at ./f5-gv.pl line 283

In view of the usefulness of this tool , I think it 's worth doing some research

 

Does anyone encounter the same problem ?

 

Thank you in advance

      Have you verified you can connect to https://myf5.local/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi on the same system you are running the script from? Connectivity errors would imply that the script is not able to connect to either the hostname or the port. Are you sure myf5.local is resolving to an ip address?

      Hi, Yes i'm sure. root@mysrv:~ telnet myf5.local 443 Trying 192.168.X.X... Connected to myf5.local. Escape character is '^]'. The server i'm running script is a ubuntu server. So I can't verify iControl/iControlPortal.cgi but on a desktop, i'ts OK. I really do not think that my problem comes from there. Thanks for your reply

      Still trying to figure this one out. Just double verifying that myf5.local is the management port of your BIG-IP. Can you issue a curl command to query the iControl portal from your ubuntu machine? curl --user admin:admin https://myf5.com/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi That should return an index page with all the WSDL files for the iControl SOAP interface. -Joe

    I can't get the GraphViz perl module installed through CPAN on my mac. It keeps throwing an error.

      I'll have to try to get GraphViz setup on my mac to test this sample out. With a first look at the code, I don't see the problem.
