(usefull) config export to csv for partitions

Question

Hello,
I wrote a shell script to export the most important config to a csv file. This was inspired from some other posts.
The script runs on bash from a LB. For the CSV import to excel, you need to change the column B(named as VIP) to TEXT and enable word-wrap to the hole chart.
The script collects field by field from running system. If you have a lot of configuration it can be need some time to finish. You can start with SCRIPTNAME PARTITION &gt; EXPORTcsv direct from bash not tmsh.
I hope it helps somebody,
Cheers NetSnoopy&nbsp;

Hi, Thanks for sharing. I wondered if you have any scripts similar like this to export things like: SSL, redirects, hosts, headers, health checks, WAF rules, NAT&nbsp;per partition. &nbsp;Kind regards, &nbsp;Najim

netsnoopy · Answer

Hello Najim,ssl, redirects(iRule) hosts and health checks are included. But not WAF. If you have a closer view you can easily found the components and modify to what you want. It would be nice if you share your code.&nbsp;Cheers NetSnoopy

liefzimmerman · Answer

&nbsp;- in another thread &nbsp;mentioned that this codeblock had some missing comment hashtags. I also don't see hashtags at the beginning of comment sections. Based on the age of this snippet - it could have been an error in our ETL efforts during the platform migration.&nbsp;Can you review this code-block and let me know if you think it was right before we migrated? (So I might look for that pattern in other code-blocks and fix systemically)Thanks!Lief
