Read Access to ASM learning suggestions

We had enabled ASM learning here and have received 5000+ suggestions. Application need to research on many of those, hence a session with them is not possible. They want to have these suggestions exported somehow for their review.

 

Is there a way to export ASM learning suggestions? If not can we create a user with read access and view only to learning suggestion?

 

Please guide.

    There is a REST endpoint to return suggestions per policy "/mgmt/tm/asm/policies//suggestions". If there are 5000+ suggestions you will need to use "skip" and "top" to page through the total results: "?\$skip=${runningSkip}\&\$top=${topCount}"

    Example:

    Get the Policy ID:

    [root@ssutton-centos-02 ~] curl -sku admin:admin https://${BIGIP_MGMT}/mgmt/tm/asm/policies | jq '.items[]|{ID: .id,Policy: .name}'
{
  "ID": "IZAtfr_evnm_-M4LIYU_pg",
  "Policy": "JSON_Max_Array_Length"
}
{
  "ID": "kvdCY2diDypYq6qcWvgiYQ",
  "Policy": "All_Policy"
}
`
    

Request the Suggestions:
 Note: The response shows the "totalItems", "itemsPerPage", "startIndex", "totalPages", "pageIndex" these can be used in a script or program to iterate through all suggestions:


    `[root@ssutton-centos-02 ~] curl -sku admin:admin https://${BIGIP_MGMT}/mgmt/tm/asm/policies/IZAtfr_evnm_-M4LIYU_pg/suggestions | jq .
