The automation we developed works with a local copy of bigip.conf, so tmsh isn't an option.

 

 

The format of the config file changed (obviously) between 9 and 10. The v10 config file uses nested profile and iRule directives in the definition of the virtual server definition, versus what the v9 did which was to reference these items and define them elsewhere. We basically deconstruct a virtual, and use the data to populate an application a database. We had to write our own parser for v9, and we were hoping someone had already done this for v10. It doesn't look like that that is the case though...
