List of Primary Error Codes?

Hey Wayne, If you are referring to the primary/secondary error codes returned inside the iControl "OperationFailed" Exception, then there are a bunch of them. Actually, too many to list here. If you login to the console on your BIG-IP and go into the /etc/alertd directory, you will see a bunch of files ending in "error_maps.h". These are all the internal error codes.

 

 

Now, I know what you are going to ask next: What are the specific error codes that can possibly be returned from each iControl method? Unfortunately, there is an abstraction layer between iControl and the internal configuration engine and our exceptions are returned via a generic "get_error" and "get_error_string" interface into the config engine.

 

 

Not that it would be impossible to build this full mapping, but it would require a full scan of all code paths for each iControl call which would be a mammoth undertaking.

 

 

Typically, there are only a couple of error codes that are returned for each method (object not found, etc).

 

 

Hopefully this gets you going in the right direction.
