How to create GTM topology region members with iControl REST API?

[JSC]

We are trying to use REST iControl API in order to create a GTM topology Region

/mgmt/tm/gtm/region

. The JSON structure seems to be (Obtained from a get request):

{

'fullPath': '/Common/region_sample',

'kind': 'tm:gtm:region:regionstate',

'name': 'region_sample',

'partition': 'Common',

'regionMembers': [{'name': 'not country FR'}]

}

however, when posting the request, we got:

POST https://X.X.X.X/mgmt/tm/gtm/region/?ver=12.1.2 {}

-- result --

{u'apiError': 26214401,

u'code': 400,

u'errorStack': [],

u'message': u'Invalid region type: "not country FR"'}

We tried with an empty regionMembers array parameters, it works. However, we didn't find the way to create the regionMembers (We also tried actions PUT and PATCH on

/mgmt/tm/gtm/region/~Common~region_sample/region-members

) REST Documentation is poor on the subject.

• https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControlREST.APIRef_tm_gtm_region.ashx
• https://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/iControlREST.HomePage.ashx

Have someone successfully created them with REST?

thanks, JSC

Only solution find, use "tmsh" command within a REST post:

if regionMembers != '':
    payload={}
    payload['command']='run'
    payload['utilCmdArgs']="-c 'tmsh modify gtm region /"+rPartition+"/"+rName+" region-members replace-all-with { "+regionMembers+" } && if [[ $? == 0 ]] ; then echo OK ; else echo KO ; fi' | jq ."
    resp = bigip.post('https://%s/mgmt/tm/util/bash?ver=12.1.2' % (BIGIP_ADDRESS), data=json.dumps(payload))
    if resp.status_code == requests.codes.ok and resp.json()['commandResult'].replace('\n','') == 'OK':
        print ' ~ Replace region_members = \''+str(resp.status_code)+'\' commandResult=\''+resp.json()['commandResult'].replace('\n','')+'\''
    else:
        print ' ~ Replace region_members = \''+str(resp.status_code)+'\' commandResult=\''+resp.json()['commandResult']+'\''
        pprint(resp.json())
        exit(1)
