Is there ressources to mock iControlREST?

[Cedric_L_]

Hello all,

Is there a huge zip file somewhere with a complete dump of a "classic" F5 installation with virtual servers, policies, etc.

I want to mock a iControlREST for unit testing and integration testing of one of our service that use iControl REST but not with production data that can be sensitive and doesn’t belong in a CI/CD chain.

Thank you!

I don't think so Cedric.

iControlREST is a built-in feature in F5.

No open-source.

When I say a dump of an F5 installation I mean a JSON dump of answers from iControlREST to different requests. So you’ll be able to reproduce the dialog between a service and an iControlREST but without a "real" F5.

Hello Cedric.

It doesn't exist a current dump but you could get one by yourself just querying a F5 with only-read queries.

You can start from here:

curl -sku admin https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ | jq >> output.txt

​And after that, you have to query all the links you get from the response (except self-links!)

Regards,

Dario.

Thank you very much for this suggestion.
