BigIP Report Old
Problem this snippet solves:
This codeshare has been deprecated due to a hosting platform corruption. I have moved code and conversation to a new record (on the same original URL) https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/bigip-report
can be Overview
This is a script which will generate a report of the BigIP 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 our 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 guest permissions on your devices.
Demo/Preview
Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair. However, they still serve the purpose of showing what you can expect from the report.

I tried the 4.0 code but I seem to have issues with the following: access.log shows 10.0.2.2 - - [11/Mar/2016:15:11:22 -0600] "GET /json/virtualservers.json HTTP/1.1" 404 514 "http://127.0.0.1:22280/default.html" "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36" For some reason, the "json/virtualservers.json" doesn't get created. (The other json/monitors.json and pools.json do get created) I don't see any errors when I run the powershell script either. (Even enabled debug loggin, and no errors are thrown)- I think I know what it is. New version in a few minutes.
- It was a referal to a future function that broke it. Try the new version? /Patrik
- RossVermetteSorry for the Delay, but you Rock! Latest version fixed the issue I was seeing with the fqdn members. I love the pool details view.(especially the curl/netcat links)
- Thanks for your kind words! You might want to check out this one too? https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/web-ui-tweaks
DebenB_254182thanks for posting such helpful content.. Tried this , its awesome. I this i can see client ssl-profile shows only YES and NO. I will like to add the profile name so thinking to modify below section ; please suggest if that work or any other changes needed. "@ } if($vs.sslprofile -ne "None"){ $Global:html += @" $($vs.sslprofile) ---> Modified from Yes to the added content. "@ } else { $Global:html += @" No "@ Also please guide how i can add VIP enabled / disabled status and poo/node availability status like UP or down. Regards Deben- Thank you for your kind words and suggestions. What you seek will come in the next version. I working on making a similar setup for the virtual servers as I did with the pool details. The issue I had with writing out the name of the SSL profile is that it would take up too much horizontal space in the table. What you suggested seems to be correct though and you're free to make any modifications to the code that you like. :)
- DebenB_254182Thanks Patrik, Eagerly waiting for next version :).. Meanwhile i will try bit modification if that works for me :) Regards A Cisco guy trying powershell .. ha ha ..:)
