Hi Filip,

Trying to use the scripts but hitting a weird syntax error. A colleague also tried this and is hitting the same thing. The save command works as expected and creates the backup file. In this case it's "Hackazon-WAF.xml".

The load command produces the following error:

[admin@ip-10-1-1-8:Active:Standalone] tmp  for i in $(find . -name '*xml'); do echo ${i}; tmsh load asm $(echo ${i} | sed 's/\.xml//') xml-file ${i}; tmsh modify asm policy $(echo ${i} | sed 's/\.xml//') enable; done

./Hackazon-WAF.xml Syntax Error: "./Hackazon-WAF" unexpected argument Syntax Error: "enable" unknown property

Do you have any suggestions for us?

Thanks,

BHS
