Hi Chad,

 

Have you also devellop a script to identify orphan object (pools, nodes, profiles,..) that have been created in the past but not used anymore in any configuration ?

 

Our F5 are getting messed config like this, years after years of configurations. I would like to clean then regularly with the help of a script.

 

Thanks !
