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Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair.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.

Hi Phil!
Sorry to hear you're having trouble.
My first guess would be that the static content of the web site is not added to the root directory. If they are there already, could you please send me the details of the Chrome console in the Developer tools (F12, and then the console tab)?
If I were you I'd give the latest version a go. The visuals has improved quite a bit lately and it's been running stable in our prod environment for quite some time now.

Thanks for reporting back Phil. I tested the version just now and it's working fine to me (even the pool details). Looks like you're using chrome as well.
Strange indeed!

Still having trouble viewing default.html from remote systems. Attached are the errors
also these json files with the 404's are in the IIS at C:\inetpub\wwwroot\json
If you load you get content?

p.s. thanks, I will try the newest version. also, thank you for being so responsive here this really helps!
Been thinking a bit.
If these happens because of lack of permissions you'd get a 401, not 404. Have you double checked the IIS bindings and logs to verify that you're actually reaching the correct site?
If the default.html residers in the same folder as /json I don't see how this would occur. If you find the issue, please let me know the root cause so others can be helped (or to satisfy my curiosity :))?

previous question: default.html resides in root www folder, the json folder is withing wwwroot
I installed version 4.6.9 and ran it. Tons of errors but the report was generated, I can view it locally and from remote systems, and the report looks good! here are some of the errors (too many to paste here)
Update: unable to paste any of the errors here because "Content has been identified as spam. If this is not the case, please contact devcentral@;
Update: will try to attach as an image
Update2: also seeing this error in several lines:
Line: 66 Error: 'togglePoolHighlight' is undefined
Classic. Close your Powershell session and open a new one?
