Using tmsh to manage data-groups (import from file to internal data-group)

I want to create an internal data-group using tmsh, but I would like to load the key values from a text file.

 

 

After running the "tmsh create ltm data-group internal my_dg" command is there a way to load the data-group with data from a file? I have a file with a bunch of entries like the following that I want to load:

 

 

 

"string1 with space" := "value1 with space",

 

"string2 with space" := "value2 with space",

 

"string3 with space" := "value3 with space",

 

 

 

 

Is there a way to do this?

 

  • Hi Mike,

     

     

    I don't think there is a built in way to move from an external data group (or external file) directly to an internal data group. You could write a short shell script to reformat the file into the internal data group format and then merge that into your config using

     

     

    tmsh load /sys config file /path/to/file.txt merge
