NimbostratusREST API: Determine what type of profile each profile is in the list for a virtual server
I'm using the REST API to do some automation. I'm currently on OS version 12.1. When I use the REST API to retrieve a list of profiles on a virtual server, I can successfully retrieve the list, but there doesn't seem to be any way to determine what kind of profile each one is. Not all my profiles use a standard naming scheme, so I can't rely on the suffix to determine what it is. What do I do to retrieve the type of profile? (SSL, web acceleration, compression etc.).
- Example URL for retrieving the profile list:
https://f5lab01.domain.com/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~Test.app~Test_vs/profiles
-
Example Output:
kind : tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate name : Test_client-ssl partition : Common subPath : Test.app fullPath : /Common/Test.app/Test_client-ssl generation : 541 selfLink : context : clientside
kind : tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate name : Test_http partition : Common subPath : Test.app fullPath : /Common/Test.app/Test_http generation : 541 selfLink : context : all
kind : tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate name : Test_oneconnect partition : Common subPath : Test.app fullPath : /Common/Test.app/Test_oneconnect generation : 541 selfLink : context : all

I know this isn't probably an easy fix you were looking for. But you could go around accessing all profile types (or at least the ones you use) from this endpoint . So you could go iterating trough every endpoint on that list, loading some kind of dictionary with FullPath of each profile and then you could easily access all the properties for a given profile using FullPath property from your endpoint.
Let me know if this helps, or you need some more details about this.

Try polling
In the stats response, the profile type of each profile will be listed.https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~Test.app~Test_vs/profiles/statsHTH
