BigIP Report Old

Thanks! :)

 

The reason why the report worked for only one IP is that I've added an override for single devices to always be indexed. Figured there's always someone out there that wants both nodes in a cluster indexed.

 

Might also add a check for old iControl versions in the pre-execution checks... Good finding!

Downloaded the newest SnapIn and executed ".\setupSnapIn.ps1 -force" in order to override the currently installed version. Now using your command i'm getting the following output:

Name        : iControlSnapIn
PSVersion   : 4.0
Description : iControl Snap-in for F5 Device Management

But I still get the same error with the get_failover_status() could it be that I did something wrong when i installed the new snapin version? Or is this maybe related to some configuration on the devices itself?

Hi Christoph

 

I think this is the latest version:

 

https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/Microsoft-Powershell-with-iControl

 

Is this the one that you downloaded? If you right click om the dll it should state version 13.1 (I think). I tried to re-install mine just now and it works for me.

 

Also updated my iControl snapin installation guide with one more step:

 

Right click on the iControl.dll and iControlSnapin.dll, choose properties and make sure that they are not blocked. If they are click on "Unblock".

When updating you'll want to run ".\setupSnapin.ps1 -Force" as an administrator. Hope to see a report of a successful attempt. 🙂

Just figured it out. I had to remove the snapin completely from the system - entry can be found in the registry under 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\PowerShell\1\PowerShellSnapIns'

 

After that the attempt to reinstall it via .\setupSnapIn.ps1 was working. Now i have the newest version running and i can just poll the information from the Active device.

 

Thank you for your tips Patrik

 

Glad to hear it's working and thanks for reporting back. I will add 5.1 to the re-requisites of the script and add that information to the instructions page.

Hi Patrik,

 

I used your script and its really useful in my day to day operations work , just one query here is this feasible for you to add one more information like SSL certs exists on LTM and it is associated with which client SSL profile ?

 

Sure, it's possible. This one is a bit bigger than the VS comments. Working on other things right now but I will add it to the list of feature requests.

Version 5.0.0

Big one again. The details are here:

https://loadbalancing.se/2018/02/05/bigip-report-just-got-an-upgrade/

And yes,

the configuration file needs to be updated

again. But it's an easy fix this time. Just add the tag name to the device group configurations to give the device groups a name (used for the device overview):

Oh, and I'm taking a break for a while now (except for taking care of bugs). 🙂

Version 5.0.1

Patch for Firefox users. The json file knowndevices had a bad encoding type which Firefox did not play nice with. Also fixed a small issue with the json error handling during the loading of the report.

 

Patch is easy. Just replace the knowndevices.json file in the /json/ folder and the bigipreport.js file in the /js/ folder and you're good to go.

 

Demo is available here now:
