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Please note that it takes time to make these so sometimes they're a bit outdated and they only cover one HA pair.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

I tried but I'm not afraid, it's the same user for deferents BIG IP
Nadjat
Here's a script to create users across multiple LB's.
- Configure the credentials you want to use to login
- Configure the credentials of the new user.
- Configure a list of the LB's you want to create the user on. Example:
This would create the user on 192.168.1.10 and 192.168.2.20
$Loadbalancers = @("192.168.1.10", 192.168.2.20)Then run the script. 🙂

hI patrik thnx for réponse but please more detail, it's not very clear to me,
for me I want to create a user read only (Guest) for 300 big ip :s
where do I run the script?
Nadjet
This is a Powershell script. You need to run it on a client or server that has access to all the BigIP devices.
300? Where do you work mate?
