In the previous article in this series, we looked at how to work with statistics. In this article, we’ll mirror some of the naked query parameters covered in the Demystifying iControl REST part 3 art...

Hi Jason,

thanks for this one as well (5*).

Along to

$select

and

filter

I´m using the

options

query parameter as well in other contexts.

Removing configuration objects

remove all management routes by using a globbing wildcard:

method:

DELETE

path:

/mgmt/tm/sys/management-route

query:

options='*'

or

options=all

remove a set of unused pools by using more specific globbing, i.e.:

method:

DELETE

path:

/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool

query:

options='pool_test_*'

Select partitions to save

save i.e. "my_partition" (using encoded spaces and curly braces):

method:

POST

data:

{"command":"save"}

path:

/mgmt/tm/sys/config

query:

options=partitions%20%7B%20my_partition%20%7D

Lookup detailled statistics

retrieve detailled statistics for a pool (i.e. my_pool) including node information:

method:

GET

path:

/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~mypool/stats

query:

options=detail

Thanks to you and the other folks for putting up all this stuff.

It helps me a lot to get my job done!

Cheers, Stephan
