Modify iRule Table through iControlREST ?

Looking to remotely add/remove IPs to a table blacklist that can be referenced by an iRule. Is it possible to accomplish this through iControlREST ?   Thanks!

Yes you can do that. I've done it before using an external datagroup, and storing the datagroup contents on an external HTTP (or HTTPS) server. Here's the tmsh command;-

tmsh modify /sys file data-group /Common/dg_ip_blacklist separator ":=" source-path http://10.2.3.4:8080/etc/ip_blacklist.txt

That doesn't quite get you there though...use the following guide https://devcentral.f5.com/d/icontrol-rest-user-guide-version-1150 to convert the tmsh command into a REST request that can be sent by a remote server....

If you'd rather manipulate data group entries individually you can use an internal datagroup and you should be able to use iControl REST to do that too.
