BigIP Report Old

Just wanted to add for those who want to use sub folders to host the report. I have an updated version of bigipreport but I can't upload it due to a problem with devcentral. Meanwhile, please look here for a manual patch:

A patch has now been added with the help of DC's esteemed Jason Rahm. Now sub folders should work properly.

Hey Patrick, thanks for the assistance. Getting great feedback from within my organization around the site. We already have an inhouse portal for pools that is more dynamic ( uses the old SOAP interface ) but the search feature on this gets everyone excited.

 

The only request I have left is back to the first comment I put back in OCT 2015 :). We love iRules internally and most Virtuals have at least 1-2 ( some 4-5 ) on them. I know you have included a section where you can manually add iRules that you want display but is there a future version where the iRules that are attached to the Virtuals can be dispalyed without explicitly defining them. Just a simple feature request and hopefully not read as a demand.

 

Again, awesome work. This thing rocks :).

 

Thanks Daniel, your comment is very much appreciated. I will make sure to include that in a future version. Adding virtual details might take a bit of a time since there's so many properties of a virtual server. Stay tuned. :)

I can't update this page anymore due to the ASM giving me issues so I've added the latest version here:

 

https://loadbalancing.se/2016/07/18/bigipreport-4-2-0/

 

It now features:

 

• Virtual server details
• Virtual server details allows for displaying iRules (requested by Daniel Penna)
• Associated address translation (requested by Craig Gauntlett)
• Some smaller bug fixes

Hope to make it more pretty in future versions. Enjoy!

Deleted some stuff from the code share page. Latest version can be found there again.

 

Fixed in 4.2.1:

 

Members having status unknown is now not listed as down any more. (requested by Mike)

I've seen some potential issues with 4.2.1 and error reporting. Will try to issue an update soon.

Hi Paul

 

CSV being a flat file is not optimal for this kind of "multi-dimensional" output, but if you could provide me with one or two example rows with data, preferrably with at least two pools connected to the VIP and at least two members per pool, I should be able to figure something out.

Hi Deben

 

Do you have the files on the same server as the report is running on? Have you double checked the web folder permissions? Do you also get these problems if you run the script manually?

 

I can see also that you're running an old version of the script. A newer version could give you better error handling.

 

If you're upgrading to version 4.2.0 or higher, don't forget to update your configuration file with the irules section.
