Hi Wally,

There are couple of ways that you can find all the variables.

1) Use postman to query one of the existing Virtual on F5 and find all the variables.

2) Second or the easiest way is to login to and then browse.

 

https:///restui/default/default.html?$display=/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~mytest-virtual-server-https/

 

The above will give you a good list of variables available on your Virtual and then you can use F5 SDK to retrieve them.

Hope it helps.

Thank you,

Muhammad
