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Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair.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,
its not fonctionel this is on error : PS D:\Users\u163740\Documents> .\teste3.ps1 Unable to create user, trying v12 syntax Unable to create user neither with v12 or v11 syntax on 10.163.13.10 PS D:\Users\u163740\Documents>
Man, it's almost like it's not meant to happen. 🙂
If you enter
in the Powershell prompt after it failed, what is the error messages you get?$Error/Patrik

on the other hand I tested the code that works on version 12, but he created it in mode, no access, it's bizard !!
the code is : https://pastebin.com/pqXX6zir
I still need the output from the
variable. And it looks like the link you pasted goes to the old script not the new one. I could see from your comments though that you tried the new script. And that's' the script I need the output from the$Error
variable (just simply issue$Error
after the script has failed and PowerShell will show you the error messages.$ErrorHeads up. I feel a fever coming so I might not be so responsive for a while.

good recovery :)
Thanks. :)
Try this.
- Edit this script with your details: https://pastebin.com/SQnppKNg (it's a new script only for v11)
- Start a new powershell session (some of the errors you got comes from re-using the same session)
- Run the script against one v11 device.
Send me the error message (translate it to english if you can... My french is worse than my Chinese. :)
