REST API - Remove WideIPs from Distributed Applications

[Ryan_G]

I am working on putting together a script that monitors servers that are down in BIG-IP DNS and clean up all configuration items they are related to.

When attempting to delete a distributed application that contains a wide ip, the API provides a 400 error response and states that the application is referenced by one or more wideips.

Attempting to put a patch in place with a blank wideip list results in an error:

PATCH Body:

{"wideips": [] }

Response:

    "code": 400,     "message": "one or more configuration identifiers must be provided",

Does anyone know of a better way to utilize the API to remove all wideips from a distributed application other than using the bash command to run a tmsh modify command?

Hey buddy, are you still facing this issue?

I can clear ltm pool members but I can't clear gtm distributed application as you said. So bad 😕

I can't find way another than run it:

curl -kv -u admin:admin -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '{"command":"run","utilCmdArgs":"-c \"tmsh modify gtm distributed-app app_dc_group wideips delete { all }\""}' https://bigip/mgmt/tm/util/bash |jq

Like tmsh modify that you don't want to.

If you found another way, please share with me.

Regards.
