NimbostratusF5 API - Unexpected Argument on /mgm/tm/ltm/policy
I am getting the following error when trying to create a draft policy in LTM via the API
{
"code": 400,
"message": "\"policy\" unexpected argument",
"errorStack": [],
"apiError": 26214401
}
I am making a POST to https://{{big_ip_a_mgmt}}/mgmt/tm/ltm/policy. Here is the JSON Post Body I am using:
{
"name": "asm_auto_l7_policy__testserver-443",
"partition": "/Common/Drafts/",
"controls": [
"asm"
],
"requires": [
"http"
],
"status": "legacy",
"strategy": "/Common/first-match",
"rules" : [
{
"name": "default",
"fullPath": "default",
"ordinal": 1,
"actions" : [ {
"name": "1",
"fullPath": "1",
"asm": true,
"code": 0,
"enable": true,
"expirySecs": 0,
"length": 0,
"offset": 0,
"policy": "/WebSeal/Test-Policy2",
"port": 0,
"request": true,
"status": 0,
"timeout": 0,
"vlanId": 0
}]}]
}
Any ideas on why I would be getting an HTTP 400? This was working a couple of weeks ago.

I took your request and only modified the referenced policy (changed to /Common/test for my lab) and it worked without issue, v13.1.0.3.
It's strange that it believes "policy": "/WebSeal/Test-Policy2" to be an unexpected argument, if it truly was unexpected it would fail in my lab too.
It's valid JSON too.

You can try watching the following log outputs on the F5 via SSH while sending your request to see if any errors occur:
# tailf /var/log/restjavad.0.log
# tailf /var/log/restnoded/restnoded.log
# tailf /var/log/ltm
