NimbostratusPerl Management/DeviceGroup
Hello,
I'm trying to setup a monitoring script for an LTM cluster running v11.0. What I wish to monitor, is whether the configuration on the active node has changed. (if so; we should do a config sync manually)
For version 9, I've used these variables.
"configsync.localconfigtime"
"configsync.peerconfigtime"
"configsync.localsyncedtime"
These don't seem to work for version 11, so I've been looking into Management/DeviceGroup instead. What stops me, is that I cannot get any output from these functions:
get_sync_state
get_member_states
(I get an undefined value in return)
These functions work:
get_autosync_enabled_state
get_device
get_version
This is the code I'm using:
get certificate information:
my @device_groups = (
"/Common/st-lbzq-group",
);
$query = $apiHandle->get_sync_state( SOAP::Data->name(device_groups => [@device_groups]));
$sync_state = $query->result();
print Dumper(\$sync_state);
The produced result, is undef..
Does anyone know why this happens?

- Hi Erland,
I think I know what's going on here. I looked at the WSDL on a box running version 11.0.0 for the Management::DeviceGroup interface and couldn't find the "get_sync_state" or "get_member_state" methods referenced. My best guess is that these methods are available in version 11.0.0-HF1 (build 8131), which was released to the web on 10/18. Any chance you're running the initial release of version 11.0.0 (build 8037)? Try applying the hotfix and the methods should appear.

Did you manage to get this working?
I've got a couple of v11 HF1 boxes which I'd like to do the same on... However i've had a look at the Management.DeviceGroup WSDL and cant see a get_sync_state method...
Cheers

Erland_Nylend_1No, it does not work for me either, and the version reported is: BIG-IP 11.1.0 Build 1943.0 Final
