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Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair.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

when I try to go to that url: 404 - File or directory not found. The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
I don't really see how that's the the issues though. The query string should just be ignored by the web server when serving these files.
/Patrik
Ok, then I was right. The files are missing. Simple as that.
Could you please do what Munawar did above?
- Start up a command prompt and go to the web root of your IIS server. Default is C:\inetpub\wwwroot (to enter that directory, issue the command "cd C:\inetpub\wwwroot").
- When you're in that directory, issue this command "dir /s".
- Paste the output here.
/Patrik

But the files aren't actually missing, they are right where they should be : c:\inetpub\wwwroot>dir /s Volume in drive C has no label. Volume Serial Number is 24D9-8247
Directory of c:\inetpub\wwwroot

this is frustrating, can't even paste the results in here in a veiwable way. Maybe we just drop this whole thing, export to CSV isn't THAT important. I wish we could just drop the files into wwwroot as instructed, and everythign works.
- PhilShannon_334
results on pastebin anyway, at least they are viewable there https://pastebin.com/Gmzh4Kb4
Yep, they are there indeed. But somehow your IIS server reports them as missing when you browse to them which to me indicates that the directory you listed just now might not be the directory where the IIS is fetching files from.
Have a look at the site bindings in IIS?
Please note that I only have one site. You might have more than one?
/Patrik
You can also double check the folder content according to IIS by opening up the manager, navigating to the json folder and clicking browse in the top right corner:
