Network Map on a Virtual Server

The only attempt at this I have seen is the award winning Pool_Member_Status iRule. That ones does not cover my needs, mainly what Node is up behind a particular Virtual Server, just like the LTN Network Map.

 

 

I would like anyone to be able to view a Network Map like interface without having to actually log into the device.

 

 

I spent some time beating on the original Pool_Member_Status and came up with this:

 

(Please don't laugh, I suck at coding and only even attempted this out of necessity)

 

 

Rehash from the Pool_Member_Status deployment guide with necessary modifications

 

 

1. Create a file in the following path on the LTM

 

 

/etc/cron.daily/virtual_status_list.cron

 

 

which contains:

 

 

!/bin/bash

 

b db bigpipe.displayservicenames false

 

bp virtual | egrep -e "POOL|VIRTUAL" | awk '{print "\""$1":"$2":"$3":"$4":"$5":"$6":\","}' > /var/class/virtual_status.class

 

b load

 

exit 0

 

 

2. Change the permissions by entering:

 

 

chmod +755 /etc/cron.daily/virtual_status_list.cron

 

 

3. Create a external datagroup

 

 

Main >> Local Traffic >> iRules

 

Select Data Group List

 

Click create

 

enter name: virtual_status

 

enter Type: External

 

Path / Filename: /var/class/virtual_status.class

 

File Content: String

 

 

4. Code is attached along with screen shots of sample output

 

 

Apply to a Virtual Server and hit the URL with "/status"

 

 

Any help cleaning this up would be greatly appreciated. Could probably be about half the size.
