Altocumuluspython rest api: How to get profiles details?
with code like this I can get list of virtuals and list of their applied profiles, but all I get for a profile is name and partition...
How do I get the actual profile objects so I can inspect their details?
vips = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.get_collection()
for vip in vips:
print(vip.name)
profiles = vip.profiles_s.get_collection()
for p in profiles:
print("/{}/{}: {}".format(p.partition,p.name,p))
This SelfLink doesn't contain any info regarding configuration. It's only a reference pointing itself.
Check this ->
# curl -sku admin:XXXX https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~myvirtual/profiles/~Common~tcp | json-format { "kind": "tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate", "name": "tcp", "partition": "Common", "fullPath": "/Common/tcp", "generation": 239, "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~myvirtual/profiles/~Common~tcp?ver\u003d12.1.4.1", "context": "all" }But if you search just for the profile you have all the configuration ->
# curl -sku admin:XXXX https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/tcp/~Common~tcp | json-format { "kind": "tm:ltm:profile:tcp:tcpstate", "name": "tcp", "partition": "Common", "fullPath": "/Common/tcp", "generation": 1, "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/tcp/~Common~tcp?ver\u003d12.1.4.1", "abc": "enabled", "ackOnPush": "enabled", "closeWaitTimeout": 5, ... }So, as I have already said, you need to capture both queries and associate them.

Hello.
To use SDK is similar of using iControl REST.
This command captures all the profile names bonded to a specific VS (without specifying category)
# https:// <F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/<virtual_name>/profilesAnd this command captures all Client SSL profiles configured in the device
# https:// <F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-sslIf I want to associate what profiles from the first output are Client SSL profiles, I need to compare both outputs.
For SDK is the same.
# CAPTURE ALL CLIENT SSL PROFILES client_ssls = session.tm.ltm.profile.client_ssls.get_collection() # https:// <F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/client-ssl # CAPTURE ALL VIRTUALS virtuals = session.tm.ltm.virtuals.get_collection() # https:// <F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual # SHOW VS AND THEIR CLIENT SSL PROFILES for virtual in virtuals: print("------------") print("Virtual: {}".format(virtual.name)) listClientSsl_inUse = [] for profile in virtual.profiles_s.get_collection(): # https:// <F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/<virtual_name>/profiles if profile.name in listClientSsl: listClientSsl_inUse.append(profile.name) if listClientSsl_inUse: for prof in listClientSsl_inUse: print("Client SSL: {}".format(prof)) else: print("Client SSL: None")I recommend you to check this example

Mohamed_LrhaziThanks a lot Dario. That is great! I wonder though, if there is a way to "load" the profile directly using the information provided by the profile object found in the virtual server.
In my code above, I get the profile in variable "p", which has an attribute "attrs", which pprinted looks like this:
{'context': 'all', 'fullPath': '/Common/udp', 'generation': 1, 'kind': 'tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate', 'name': 'udp', 'partition': 'Common', 'selfLink': 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~syslog-udp-514-vs/profiles/~Common~udp?ver=14.1.0.2'}Is there a method load(p.selfLink) or something like that?
