BIG-IP Report

Problem this snippet solves:

Overview

This is a script which will generate a report of the BIG-IP LTM configuration on all your load balancers making it easy to find information and get a comprehensive overview of virtual servers and pools connected to them.

This information is used to relay information to NOC and developers to give them insight in where things are located and to be able to plan patching and deploys. I also use it myself as a quick way get information or gather data used as a foundation for RFC's, ie get a list of all external virtual servers without compression profiles.

The script has been running on 13 pairs of load balancers, indexing over 1200 virtual servers for several years now and the report is widely used across the company and by many companies and governments across the world.

It's easy to setup and use and only requires auditor (read-only) permissions on your devices.

    Hola, hope everyone has a nice winter/summer depending on where you're at. 

    Just wanted to remind you to pull new versions of the container once in while to keep up with the security updates. Just patched some vulnerabilities in nginx.

    Kind regards,
    Patrik

    Hey Santosh!

    Could you elaborate on what the problem is? Has the collector script finished without errors?

    Kind regards

    New version out that fixes syntax iRules syntax highlighting and revamps the direct hash links. There's also a lot of quality work in this one (kudos TimRiker !):
    https://loadbalancing.se/downloads/bigipreport-v5.7.0.zip

    Big thanks to TimRiker for his relentless improvements and patience with unit tests and integration tests. This one was all him. 🙂

    Also, I have created new docker builds with vulnerability fixes starting from v5.7.0 (base image has been updated) and updated some node dependencies for security reasons.

    Hey Ben!
    Thanks for reporting. From the looks of it I'd say this is not related to BigIPReport. Try to re-install Powershell?

    I can also highly recommend the Docker version of BigIPReport. Less OS related head aches. 🙂

    Kind regards,
    Patrik
