Activate REST-API for health-checks
Hi all, I'm fairly new to the F5 and I need some help. Some VIP's have configured health-checks to monitor if the Frontends are reachable (Iwas told). Now I want to create a "Service" - basically a python script - that builds API-calls and send these via REST-API to the F5 Load-Balancer in order to get the status of the health-checks. But so far I didn't had any luck accessing the REST-API. So I begin to wonder if it is acltive/enabled at all. My curl requests return a 403 although user/pass is correct. I can access the GUI without a problem. How can I check if the API has been enabled ? And if it not running, how can it be enabled ?85Views0likes2CommentsImport PKCS 12 SSL to Device Certificate via API/Script or CLI on BIG-IP
We have more than 160 BIG-IP Virtual Edition with version 15.1.10.3 build 0.0.12. We need to import, in each one, an SSL Certificate in PFX/PKCS 12 format in the path System ›› Certificate Management: Device Certificate Management: Device Certificate. We looked in the documentation and the KB but we couldn't find a way to do it. Has anyone dealt with this and have a solution to do it via Script, CLI or API? Thank you.80Views0likes1CommentError in REST https call to get the Auth token

Hello, Using the API, I'm able to look up things like address lists or rule lists if I know their names, for example, a curl to mgmt/cm/firewall/working-config/rule-lists?$filter=name+eq+someRuleListName will give me the desired record contents, or using mgmt/cm/adc-core/working-config/net/ip-address-lists?$filter=name+eq+someAddressListName shows me the contents of the desired address list. But how do I find those records if I don't know their names? For example, if I want to know if the IP 10.1.3.4 exists in an address list, how do I query that from the API? Or, if I know that address list webserverOne exists, how can I find what rules reference that list? Thanks!424Views0likes4CommentsBackup F5 BigIP using RestAPI and PowerShell (again?)
Hello! I went through the Forum and I saw a lot of related messages but none of them actually answered my question. The documentation [I found] leaves to be desired and I hope that the community is able to help me. I am looking for a simple "backup everything and store as a file" solution and it looks like it is much more than just 2-3 RestAPI calls. So, I am able to connect and get a token. Now, I am googling the "Create Backup" command and nothing works. Could you please point me to the exact link that will create a new backup? I also think that it could be a "story" to download the backup, so I will be happy to get any advice on that also. Thanks.Solved1.8KViews0likes6Comments
