Problem creating a monitor with a wildcart port and IP using bigsuds
Hi all,
I'm trying to use the bigsuds library in Python to create a monitor, but I can't get the LTM to accept a wildcard IP address and port... it wants a string and a long, and an empty string and 0 don't work. How to do I replicate the tmsh dump below using bigsuds, if it keeps wanting a real IP and port?
This is my tmsh dump of it:
ltm monitor http shib-test-http-monitor {
defaults-from /Common/http
destination *:*
interval 5
recv "OK"
send "GET /foo\\r\\n"
time-until-up 0
timeout 16
}
Here's the code I'm using:
mtemplates = [{'template_name' : clean_monitor_name, 'template_type' : 'TTYPE_HTTP'}] shouldn't need template_type if we specify a parent
mattributes = [{
'parent_template' : 'http',
'interval': 5,
'timeout': 16,
'dest_ipport': {'address_type': 'ATYPE_STAR_ADDRESS_STAR_PORT', 'ipport': {'address':None, 'port': "0"}},
'is_read_only': False,
'is_directly_usable': True,
}]
print "Creating monitor " + str(mtemplates) + " with attributes " + str(mattributes)
lb.Monitor.create_template(mtemplates,mattributes)
Unfortunately, I'm getting this back:
bigsuds.ServerError: Server raised fault: 'Exception caught in LocalLB::urn:iControl:LocalLB/Monitor::create_template()
Exception: Common::OperationFailed
primary_error_code : 16908320 (0x01020020)
secondary_error_code : 0
error_string : 01020020:3: The text string cannot be converted to an IP address.'

attrs.dest_ipport.address_type = type.ATYPE_STAR_ADDRESS_STAR_PORT attrs.dest_ipport.ipport.address = '0.0.0.0' attrs.dest_ipport.ipport.port = 0
