Tested this on version:
12.1
Found this article. See if using their iApp examples will work with putting it in the Data Group List.
 
https://devcentral.f5.com/s/feed/0D51T00006i7hIpSAI
 
Found a fix for this. If your pool was created via an iApp, place the Partition / Path in the data group list string before the pool name.
example: /Common/ent_exch.app/ent_exch_ad_pool7
@bac81987,
I haven't tried Iapp yet, but like you mentioned giving the complete path fixes it. But may i know what is "ent_exch.app" in your path. Is that how pool names created with some folder when its done through Iapp, Because this doesn't look like a partition name.
"ent_exch.app" is my path name. It's whatever you named your iApp template when creating it.
@Ken,
Thats a simple html response... You can simply curl the url and get the output. Save the output in the format you need.
Lets say you have built this setup already.
Access:
https:///status
will show your page.
Do a curl & append the output to a file,
curl -k https:///status > /var/tmp/status-output.html
Build a bash script with sendmail & send the output as attachment. Hope it helps.
Where is the code for the iRule? I just see "74839" in the code section.
Thanks,
Steve
- did you happen to edit this code snippet down in this way? or was this a FallenSoldier (pardon the pun) in our site transition? If you still have it can you re-post it here? If not...I'll see if I can find it in our wayback machine.
adding - so he can be notified of updates if you have them.
, Ive been using it for some years, have the code somewhere in my F5's. I'll wait for a day for the Op to repost, if not I'll send it to you, so you can update this thread.
- The code must have been dropped during the site transition.
I have reapplied the code to the post above.
& - it's been a hot minute but LoyalSoldier fixed up the iRule code today.
My apologies that I didn't catch this a bit sooner.
Below is from a previous comment when I built the script:
"As far as adding the hostname... I looked into that while building the script and there was no easy/known way to incorporate the hostname from an iRule command, such as "[members -list $thispool]". The "members" command, for example, only pulls the IP and Port. Never tried looking at adding the description field.
With that said, you may be able to get those fields added using iCall, but I don't have enough experience with iCall, or time, to attempt it. If you or someone else wants to feel free.
One such example: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/feed/0D51T00006pY5mySAC"
To my knowledge nothing has changed since this script was built, but I haven't re-looked into it either.
I have my app team asking for something that I think this will work for. However, I'm not sure if this will still works correctly on version 16.
I have created the datagroup and populated it with a several pool names.
Created iRule by copy/paste code from this thread.
Created SSL VIP with cert.
Added iRule.
I can get to the /status page and the data looks like its there, but it is just one long line of text instead of the nifty graphical page given as an example. I've never seen an iRule that had boxes like this one shows.
Any help would be appreciated.
It was brought to my attention the original code has been quite a bit mangled somehow from the hosting application. Here is a repost of the original code:
