amplify-agent API key missing
Greetings All, I am very new to the amplify-agent, I installed it onto my linux server hoping to gain some insight into my web server stats. Reading the documentation it says that an API key should be inserted into the agent.conf file under [credentials] and api_key = Can someone please tell me how and where I can find a new for my installation. Thanks in advance Lawrence
What is the best way to view an old configuration (UI or CLI)?
Can we deploy a temporary (disconnected) VE and restore the configs? It seems you can't upload .ucs files to iHealth to inspect. We recently migrated from hardware F5 BIG-IP platforms to VEs, and now need to check how logging was configured since we're getting tons of logs from them now, so we can compare configurations. I made a .ucs config backup file for each node before wiping them for decommissioning, but not a QKView file, so we can't upload the .ucs file to iHealth to troubleshoot. If I deployed a VE to a test environment (without active network connections), could we load/restore the .ucs backup so that we could view settings in the UI (preferable) or CLI? Is there a better way to view previous settings/configs? If this is possible, do we need to deploy the VE as the same exact firmware version? We also jumped from 15.1.x to 17.1.x when we migrated to the VEs from the 5250v platform and the configs we need to view are for 15.1.x. Thanks in advance.
BIG-IP : iControl : System/ConfigSync::download_configuration() : error opening file for read operations
BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 608.0 Final VE I'm in .NET 4.5 C : using proxy classes generated from WSDL, I call into iControl API to retrieve BIG-IP system configuration : var systemConfigSync = new SystemConfigSync("bigip", "admin", "admin", 600000); long offset = 0; SystemConfigSyncFileTransferContext context = systemConfigSync.download_configuration("bigip", 131072, ref offset); throws exception : Exception caught in System::urn:iControl:System/ConfigSync::download_configuration() Exception: Common::OperationFailed primary_error_code : 16908289 (0x01020001) secondary_error_code : 0 error_string : Error opening file for read operations On v11.4.0 , this call successfully retrieved the system configuration ( bigip.conf ). However, on upgrading to 11.4.1 it began failing.
Basic Crontab setup
I can't seem to get my bigip to run a simple cron. Below is the script run config_sync_script.py !/usr/bin/python import os failover_status = os.popen("b failover show").read().split()[1] sync_status = os.popen('tmsh show sys config-sync | grep "Status"').read().split()[1] if failover_status == 'active' and sync_status == '1': os.system('tmsh run sys config-sync') config ls -la | grep config_sync_script.py -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 274 Aug 13 09:06 config_sync_script.py crontab -l Active] config crontab -l cron tab for root 1-59/30 * * * * /usr/bin/diskmonitor 18 9 * * * /config/config_sync_script.py The time just matches a time I was working on it. In monitoring the cron log nothing happens and the script never seems to run. What am I missing?
Simple balancing doesn't work
Good morning community, I have to configure, for my work, a F5 VE. So, I download F5 VE 13.1.4 in my lab @home and install it on VMWare to make practice and understand the F5 basics. What I did is configure internal and external network VPN and assign related IP. Then Pool/Nodes and a Virtual Server listening on port 5000. Everything looks good: From F5 I can reach both nodes, even with a simple telnet on port 5000. From external network I can reach external F5 interface. The problem is that F5 doesn't route connection to the pool. This is my network topology: As I wrote, external network can reach VSERVER at 10.3.0.100 on port 5000. Then from F5 I can reach nodes in the pool always on port 5000. The problem here is when from a client (external network) I try to connect to VSERVER, it seems the connection is ESTABLISHED for a while, but not forwarded to internal network. While I tried to establish a connection from a client from external network (10.3.0.128), this is what happen: 1 0.000000 10.3.0.128 → 10.3.0.100 TCP 70 61440 → 5000 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=64240 2 0.000219 10.3.0.100 → 10.3.0.128 TCP 66 5000 → 61440 [SYN, ACK] Seq=0 Ack=1 3 0.002661 10.3.0.128 → 10.3.0.100 TCP 58 61440 → 5000 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 4 0.006505 10.3.0.128 → 10.2.0.129 TCP 66 61440 → 5000 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=4380 5 0.059742 10.3.0.128 → 10.3.0.100 IPA 115 unknown 0x30 6 0.059768 10.3.0.100 → 10.3.0.128 TCP 58 5000 → 61440 [ACK] Seq=1 Ack=58 7 3.003461 10.3.0.128 → 10.2.0.129 TCP 66 [TCP Retransmission] 61440 → 5000 [SYN] Seq=0 Win=4380 Len=0 MSS=1460 SACK_PERM=1 10 12.004963 10.3.0.100 → 10.3.0.128 TCP 113 5000 → 61440 [RST, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=58 11 12.004980 10.3.0.128 → 10.2.0.129 TCP 106 61440 → 5000 [RST, ACK] Seq=1 Ack=1 I'm getting crazy since configuration should be ok, could someone help me? Thank you very much, Lucas
VPN BIG-IP Edge client : difference between dynamic and static configuration ?
I have a VPN connection between a Windows client and a BIGIP v15. I am using BIGIP Edge client, with network access. According to this document : https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K24416258 "Edge client connects to the APM Virtual Server and downloads the configuration". 1. What are precisely the features downloaded ? 2. Does this mean that the msi file installed on Windows client provides static configuration ? 3. May the dynamic configuration (1.) overwrite the static configuration (2.) ?
