Archiving BIG-IP Configurations with an iApp in v11.2

There is no current “non-hacky” method to have an iApp on one LTM configure “base” items on other LTMs. iApps have a difficult time managing files like cron directly as well; you would have to write all of the management code for checking for the existence of items before you enter them, deleting them, etc. all on your own.

 

 

This all comes down to this iApp configuring items that are effectively “base” configuration items (in this case, cron tabs that aren’t even managed by the primary control plane) and not shared configuration items. In order to make this work for all devices in the sync group, you would have to run the iApp on each member to configure the respective “base” configuration items for each.
