    Gavin,

     

     

    Somehow this slipped through the cracks. Can you be a little more specific on what you need? ARX does support an iControl API, and the first use of this API is for File Change Notification tracking. I am not sure if this is inline with your request? The API itself is documented here:

    And some further detail on getting File Change Notifications via a perl script can be found here:

    You can use iControl to get volume names and other configuration and statuses from ARX. You can find the perl example at http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControl.ARX-Volume-Info.ashx. If you use C, you can search "iControl Assembly ARX" in DevCentral and download the latest assembly.
