Jul 25, 2008Extracting Parameters Identified during Learning
I've found while developing our policies, that ASM does a fantastic job in identifying parameters - but collobaration between the developers and the network staff is needed to create the policy...

Sep 01, 2008Hi DJ-Boston,
There are existing requests to get a human readable flat file output of the policy for auditing and reporting. I don't have the CR number, but if you would like to support the request, you could open a case with F5 Support and ask them to attach your case to the change request.
You can get some detail on the parameters in a rough format by running asmqkview from the command line. The output is a gzip compressed tar archive written to /var/tmp/. If you extract it and go to the tmp\asm_snapshot_temp_dir.XXXX directory, you will find the asm_mysql.dump file. This is the mysqldump of the ASM database. You could either parse this file to get the parameters, or you could load it in another MySQL database off of the BIG-IP. The relevant tables are:
PL_GLOBAL_PARAMETERS
PL_OBJECT_PARAMS
PL_FLOW_PARAMS
PL_PARAM_ATTRIBUTES
To get the exact details for each parameter's configuration you'd need to join quite a few more tables. But hopefully this gives you a start.
