BigIP Report Old

Sweet! Holler if I broke anything.

Hi guys,

I am a newbie on here, and trying to get this report to display using version 5.0.9. I can successfully run the script, collect the data, but not display it. Running this in Chrome web server, the page loads, but nothing gets displayed(fig.1), however, dragging the HTML file to the web address, generates .json errors but data is displayed (fig.2)

I am probably missing something, but i cannot figure it out. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Nate83

Hi Nate You're trying to load the files locally and Chrome does not support local ajax requests. Try using a web server instead and it should work.

Nate,

It looks like you already have IIS installed. If you have the default configuration, you should be able to hit and get the BigIPReport page.

I use Chrome with local file support enabled for development. That works except for the "update check" as there is no datestamp emulated on file requests. To do this, I create a link to Chrome on the desktop and edit the link to include the file option. ie:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --allow-file-access-from-files

Then close all Chrome instances and apps, and launch again from that icon.

I do not recommend the file-access option for production. File access is normally disabled in Chrome so that remote web sites can not run scripts that access local files. Using a local web server running on is the recommended way to go.

Hi guys,

Thanks very much for responding, am now getting what looks like a loop error, see below:

![alt text] AND ![alt text] LASTLY ![alt text]

It seems as if the data is looping and then times out.

Thanks again for the help so far!

Regards, Nathan.

Nathan,

It's a feature, not a bug. :)

This is the Update Check I referred to. It does a HEAD request. It's adding a get parameter to insure that the result is not cached. It's looking at the Last-Modified to determine if it should alert the user that there is an update.

As this is a static file, the HEAD request should be trivial overhead. The comment indicates it checks every 30 minutes, but the 3000 value shows it's actually checking every 3 seconds. 3 seconds is probably shorter than it could be, but 30 minutes is probably too long.

Hi! I wonder where the middle screenshot comes from. "content.js" is not from BigIPReport v5.0.9 at least. Do you have some Chrome extension? Can you try another browser?

Hey Tim & Patrik,

Along with a collegue of mine, we got it sorted! Turns out the loadbalancer data was returning a null value for some reason, but once that was resolved, hey presto! we got a report.

We're facing a similar pesky issue on the defined irules console, but what we have is AMAZING!

Thanks for this guys, it really is one awesome piece of code.

Hey guys!

Going to Agility in Boston next week. It'd be fun to meet some of the "QA testers" in this thread and shake hands. :) Look me up on the F5 event app if you want to have a coffee or something like that.
