BigIP Report Old

Hi!

Releasing a new version now, but I have not had time to test it as much as I would have liked to. Thus the "-beta" in the name. :)

The significant changes apart from smaller bug fixes:

• Adding data group list parsing and writing the output to json files* Fixed so you can hide the compression columns
• Showing data group list content now works
• Made data group lists clickable when looking at irules definitions.
• Added pre-checks for the static files

New options in the settings file, so either update that one fully, or replace the irule settings section with the new content.

I would also like to know if any of you have been encountering issues when extracting virtual server information? I had some issues when running the script on W2012 in regards to getting NAT rules from VIP's.

Left to do for the next version:

• Clearing search filters

If I have time:

• Realtime pool status polling
• Hiding partition information in more places
• Persistence profiles used
• Pool load balancing method

Please let me know if you run into any issues with the new version!

Nice Work Patrik! Now we can see the Data group list content :-)

What doesn't seem to work is to hide the compression column. I set it to false but it still shows up.

Hi!

Thanks. I ran it myself now and it seems to work fine. Have you done a "fresh" install?

4.2.7 Released

Small fix in the data group list parser where it will now ignore data group lists or commands that resides in comments.

/Patrik

My mistake Patrik, it now works hiding the Compression column. :-)

Have you thought of making it possible to search inside a Datagroup or irule? I mean that when you in the search field type anything that it will also match the content of the Datagroup lists and rules? Would it be possible?

Hi!

Thanks for getting back regarding the compression column and for your feedback.

Yes, but I have not been able to come up with a good way to do it yet. If one day I finally take the step to fully generate the report using javascript it would not be a problem. But right now this would mean that I would have to add the content of the data group lists and irules in the html DOM, and that would make the report several times bigger than it is today.

Given how heavy it is to load already I don't consider that an option. There could be a way to search them in a separate lightbox, but until I can come up with a clever way to do it will have to be added to the RFE list. :)

Hi Patrik,

Just started using the reporting tool on version 4.2.1. Very pleased with the output. Winning big marks with management. Thanks so much. Not sure if this feature request has been discussed or road-mapped already but it would be awesome if we could see the Priority Group settings in the Pool details. Has that been discussed already? I apologize if that is the case.

thanks again.

Hi Jack!

Thanks, it's nice to hear that! :) I don't think it has been mentioned before. Adding it to the feature request list. Not sure when it will be done though as the list is long. :)

Hi again

I am learning Git, so I needed something to experiment with. Consider your wish granted. :)

Planned features

Patrik,

Just loaded 4.2.8 and the Priority Groups are now showing up. Thanks for the quick response on the feature request. I will continue to check back for feature enhancements from time to time.

thanks again.
