BigIP Report Old

I will add the brackets to the file to get it to load.

my log file show up as wingdings after the first line.

2018-04-3020:09:53ERRORNo error mail reporting enabled/configured ?????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????? ??????????????????????????????????

I can't get the files to come up empty. Are you sure you ran the new script to get the

asmpolicies.json

nat.json

I have seen the log issue. The truncating code seems to fill the file with garbage at the end.

Yes I am running the new script. Nat.json looks great

re-ran the script, each time it recreates the asmpolicies.json file with 0kb and no contents.

Added an explicit export for empty asmpolicies.json

I just noticed that devicetable.json is wrong if there is only one entry. I'll get that tomorrow.

Hi

In the 5.0.6 still showing : "The report was generated on MNOOBMNG02 using BigIP Report version 5.0.4. Script started at 05/02/2018 09:06:46 and took 1 minutes to finish."

Is it OK just ot edit the ps file , line: $Global:ScriptVersion = "5.0.4" to $Global:ScriptVersion = "5.0.6" ?

We currently don't handle datagroup pool lookups. Something like this:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
 pool [class match -value [string tolower [HTTP::host]] equals dg_ptest]
}

and then a datagroup like this:

a.example.com := pool_a.example.com
b.example.com := pool_b.example.com

Thoughts, Patrik? Does anyone else do shared vhosts like this?

Our rule is much larger than this to handle errors, etc. but this is the simplified view.

We've gotten feature requests regarding this before so there's more people doing it for sure. Just never prioritized it.

My thought was to parse data group list values and match them against pool names in the data group list partition or the common partition. Then add a property containing an array to the data group list object.

Also, the Powershell script would have to parse for data group lists in the iRules and add a property named datagrouplists to the irules object. Does that make sense?

/Patrik

If we load pools before datagroups, then while processing string datagroups we could match the value against an existing pool name on that loadbalancer.

Ideally this adds those pools to each vs that uses that irule. In practice for us, this is generally only one vs, but I suppose there could be more than one.

virtualservers.json should include the datagroups and pool dependancies at runtime so that the linked pools can get rendered. This means moving the irule processing over to the server side.

It would be awesome to see iRules reference virtual servers that use them someplace. Same for datagroups, if they showed iRules that used them. It would be awesome to be able to browse around objects and where they are used and what they use.

Agreed, a back-tracking function would be really useful. Good idea!

Regarding the data structure:

The end goal here should be to grab all the pools that is directly, or indirectly (via iRules, or data-group lists) associated with a virtual server right? Then, perhaps part of the iRule processing could be to:

1. Scan the iRule for data group lists.
2. For each data group list found, add any pools associated with it to the irules.pools list.
3. Then the old VIP logic can be maintained.

Then technically the pools associated with an iRule is still "correct". What do you think?

Agree about the iRule processing being done server side.
