F5 ASM

Question

Hey I'm trying to get to know the ASM feature in Big-IP.I want to be able to block request based on specific ips or headers (+values) and more.I also want to configure it using an API, I saw there is something called iControl.Is there any docs that contain all the paths in iControl so I could search everything I need? It would also help me get more familiar with the feature

Maybe this is a question you should ask to an F5 partner/consultant.But you could also have a look at these resources:

GuyG - I know this is an older question but we just restarted our Series' feature and there is a three part series that may give context and background for iControl - might help make sense of the technical documentation?Starts here:Getting Started with iControl: History | DevCentral
