yes, the script is just to validate the atomic operation of the datagroups (it had supporting irule test language)

In the GUI, you can import external data groups from System->File Management->Data Group File List, or from Local Traffic->iRules->Data Group List->Create and select the type as External File and then click Import (or select if you've already imported)

You can also create one in tmsh:

tmsh create /sys file data-group dg1_external_file separator ":=" source-path file:/var/tmp/dg1.txt type string
tmsh create /ltm data-group external dg1_external external-file-name dg1_external_file
