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Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair.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

Also trying out a Discord channel now. You're welcome to hang out with us there:
Code :

Tested this on version:
13.0
Updated Dec 08, 2022
Version 2.0
Could you also please verify that all the objects in the network tab has been loaded successfully (and has more than 0 bytes size)?
Another thing you can do is to click on each javascript and css to verify that the encoding is not funky (it'd look like Chinese/japanese).

I've uploaded a demo with the latest version here:
http://loadbalancing.se/bigipreportdemo/
See if it loads as expected?
When I reloaded I the export link was missing too. Forcing a reload of the page solved it though. From the looks of it you're missing the whole top row, which makes this even weirder.
Double check the javascript console for exceptions?

Yeah I see everything there at your new demo... I think I want to cry, how is this even possible? Like I said there is NOTHING on this system except for version 4.7.2

trying from other computers too. Just saw this error from an older IE version
I'd start with the 404's :) Looks like there's some missing files there.
/Patrik
IE is not really supported so let's focus on Chrome/Firefox. Microsoft browsers has always been a pain in the b*tt.

how do you approach this type of error?
GET =1513956610656 404 (Not Found)
The pool.json file is there and accessible, does this mean 1513956610656 is missing from within the file?
Also, what is "1513956610656" (if you know)? thanks

since we don't use browsers on most of the systems I'm working with, we don't install anything else like firefox or chrome. I do have a couple of systems with chrome, also have Vivaldi but I don't install firefox anywhere
The numbers are there to prevent caching. Not sure where the white space comes from though. That is very weird... If you navigate to without the query string. Do you see the JS file then?
