Problem this snippet solves:
Some of these features is also available in the Web UI Tweaks, but onwards new features and bug fixes will be corrected in the extension instead because:
Works in v12, v13, v14 and v15. It's been tested but use it at your own risk. 🙂
The manual can be found here:
https://loadbalancing.se/webui-tweaks-manual/
And the plugin can be installed from here:
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/adc-tweaks/djighgbbkkefkbkkjggimldnjikjhlnk
Here's some of the features!
Pool list member statuses
When the pools contains one available member the status is still green today. This script shows you icons depending on what different statuses a pool contains.
Pool details on mouse over
Hovering the mouse over a status icon shows the member details:
Custom loading screen
Got a big partition so the statuses takes a while to load? No problem, the script will let you know when it's finished.
Default options when creating a pool
Pool name suffix, action on service down, load balancing method, and select node node instead of creating a new one can be pre-populated for you by editing the configuration.
Automatically generated monitor tests
Test strings for browser, curl and netcat commands are generated automatically for http monitors.
Detecting data group lists
The when editing an iRule the script will detect the used data group lists and show them on the left hand side. Hovering the mouse over a data group list name will show it's content. Clicking on it will take you to that data group lists configuration form.
No more accidentally deleting data group list records
If you use data group lists as much as we do there's a chance that you have encountered this scenario. You need to edit a record, so you click on the "Edit" button, change the entries and then click on update. Ooops, now that record was deleted.
Instead, the script would disable the edit button after clicking on it. It won't be enabled again until either after you click add, or when you clear the text in the input fields.
Bulk import
The script allows you to do bulk edits to your data group lists.
Edit active list: Moves all the records from the active list to the import list.
Automatically match SSL Client profile name, certificate and key
When creating an SSL profile the script will attempt to find a matching certificate and key according to the name of the profile. So when you click on on the add button in the Client SSL Profile form you'd get everything automatically populated for you (providing that you have configured the default chain in the script).
Pre-populated profiles for creating certificate signing requests.
How to use this snippet:
Simply add the Chrome extension to your browser.
Tested this on version:
No Version Found
Nice set of tweaks! Hopefully the F5 developers pick up some of the tricks in here too...
Have you got an updated link to the actual plugin? Can't seem to find it and the link on your website gives a 404 unfortunately.
Darn, the link must've disappeared over the course of the DC upgrades. Here you go!

Please let me know if there are any issues. 🙂

Might add, that you should probably checkout this one instead:
https://community.f5.com/t5/codeshare/web-ui-tweaks/ta-p/284967
It does the same thing but uses TamperMonkey to insert the script instead. I moved to a Chrome extension because it was easier to split the JS files into smaller pieces.
Been meaning to pull Tims changes to the Chrome extension for some time but just never go around to it.
Kind regards,
