BigIP Report Old

Thx, correct, json was missing.

Hey Patrick, Upgraded to 4.3.0 last week and the iRule to Virtual Server feature is awesome!

My team is looking at using your script as a baseline to find owners in the organization and we will be using the description field of a virtual server to establish an internal owner to an application. In the short term we will be modifying your PS script to include the description field of a Virtual Server but wondering if this can be a feature request for any future versions ?

Patrik - your demo is awesome, I am not a powershell user so still trying to understand logistically and architecturally where the pieces go. I have powershell on a Windows 10 laptop and am planning to run the web server on a Redhat apache web server and the instructions say to copy the content of the BigipReport package to /var/www/html/ which are files Bigipreport-4.3.8.ps1 and bigipreportconfig.xml - so Bigipreport-4.3.8.ps1 gets put wherever I also put bigipreportconfig.xml? Thanks, Tom

Hi Tom

Did you follow the instructions on loadbalancing.se?

Both of these needs to be executed with Powershell:

• bigipreport-4.3.8.ps1 - This is the actual script

   

• bigipreportconfig.xml - Configuration for the script

   

Then, there's a folder which is named "Move the content of this folder to the configured report root". This folder contains styles and javascripts needed by the report and needs to reside on your web server.

So in your case, if you want to automate things you'd have to install Samba on your Redhat server and share your report root on the linux server.

Alternately, if you don't want to automate things you can just configure the script and copy the html file manually.

New version (4.4.0):

• Adding support for orphaned pools in the json objects.
• Fixing a bug with empty irules preventing virtual server details to the shown.

Tried version 4.4, running into this:

Hi!

Thank you for reporting, I will check it out!

Ok, I checked those lines in the script. A few questions:

• What version are you running?
• Do you have ASM installed?
• Do you have the latest version of the iControl powershell snapin?
• Which version of Powershell are you running?

/Patrik

Thanks for looking into this Patrik, really appreciate the quick help!

What version are you running?

BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 637.0 Hotfix HF3

Do you have ASM installed? Do you have the latest version of the iControl powershell snapin?

version 11.00.0002

Which version of Powershell are you running?

PSVersion 4.0 WSManStackVersion 3.0 SerializationVersion 1.1.0.1 CLRVersion 4.0.30319.42000 BuildVersion 6.3.9600.17400 PSCompatibleVersions {1.0, 2.0, 3.0, 4.0} PSRemotingProtocolVersion 2.2

Doh, 11.4.1 is quite old. I don't have a device that runs it. Since the ASM functions in the script seem to be a hit or miss for some users I am considering removing them until I start writing a REST based version of the report.

Did you try older versions of the script by any chance? 4.3.0 might do the trick for you.
