Internal datagroup REST / curl problem

What is the correct format for a file to populate an internal data group with a curl command?   I tried:   curl -vk -u xxxxx:xxxxx -H 'Content-Type:application/json' -X POST -d text.json   ...

Hi Jan,

the raw GET output can't be used to create or update a given data-group.

To create a new data-group:

curl -k -u "admin:admin" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X  POST -d '{"name":"DG_SOMEVALUES","type":"string","records":[{"name":"123","data":"abc"}]}' https://172.22.17.1/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal/

To update the records of an existing data-group:

curl -k -u "admin:admin" -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X  PATCH -d '{"records":[{"name":"1234","data":"xyz"}]}' https://172.22.17.1/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal/~Common~DG_SOMEVALUES

Cheers, Kai
