is there a way to download / export the actual Key / RSA Certificate files from BIG-IP, using the iControl REST?
Hi all, I know there is a way to upload and import key/cert to F5 either fromFile or fromUrl. I also know that there is a way to download files from /mgmt/tm/asm/file-transfer/downloads/fooFile.txt using iControl REST. Is there a way to download/export the actual Key / Certificate files from BIG-IP, using the iControl REST service? if not directly, is there any way to export Key/Cert under F5_IP:/ts/var/rest/ download those files using the download REST call?
Run mkdir over iControl REST for disappearing /var/config/rest/downloads/tmp
Hello, I am currently writing the code for automating our ssl cert deployment among other things. I upload files to the Bigip device to shared/file-transfer/uploads/ This only works when the directory /var/config/rest/downloads/tmp exists. I noticed this periodically is removed again. Is there a way I can run an mkdir over REST to fix this? Regards
Running BASH commands via REST API
I am trying to run bash commands via the REST API but am getting an error. When trying to use the following syntax I am getting a 403 running with Admin authentication... GET: https://F5LTM/mgmt/tm/util/bash Output: {"code":403,"message":"Operation is not allowed on component /util/bash.","errorStack":[]} Does anyone know if this is possible, or have any syntax examples of how to run bash commands? I assume you need to submit a post request, but I am not sure how to structure the syntax in the body of the request and cannot find any examples.FIPS Errors
Hi I am seeing the following error being logged: iControlPortal.cgi[14845]: Checking for FIPS card..

I'm trying to implement a project with f5-sdk on python. I'm working on a F5 BIG-IP device. I want to get the current throughput and number of connections data so that i can make a simple dashboard. I can get number of connections data for each virtual server but i need to see the data about the whole system. How can i do this? Which functions,classes i can use. Documentation doesn't really helped me to achieve this. Can you give example code parts? Thanks all.CPU data, control and analytics plane utilization
Hi everyone, Wondering if there is any "quick" way of extracting the CPU statistics for Data, Control and Analytics plane utilization via iControl ? As far as I read, Even-numbered logical cores (hyperthreads) are allocated to TMM, while odd numbered cores are available for other processes, while last core is used for analytics. Do I need to do the math myself ?
Add FQDN Node to a Pool with autopopulate enable
Hey Team, I encountered some issues on the cluster of the LB if I add FQDN Nodes to the pool. As per F5 support we have to add the nodes to the pool with the Auto Populate Enable since that can cause problems. I am trying to find a way when we add the nodes with that feature on however i am not able to find it This is my code defadd_node_to_pool(self,node_name,pool_name,port_number): #methodtoaddnodetothepoolcreated my_pool_add=self.mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name=pool_name) my_pool_add.members_s.members.create(partition='Common',name=node_name+':'+port_number) my_pool_add.update() print('Node'+node_name+'addedtopool'+pool_name)
Big-IQ snapshot management
Hello community, I have an interesting situation that I want to run by you guys and hopefully somebody/someone can give me a hand. We have in our environment 20 Big-IQ devices, handling nearly 500 devices (between LTMs, ASMs, DNSs and combination of them). Internally we have configured Big-IQs to trigger snapshots for all of them, the only difference we have is that we only keep snapshot files storaged in the Big-IQ is for ASMs. The rest of the modules keep their snapshots locally. Now, we want (need) to create a python script (basically because we make it run from a 3rd party solution that ssh into the Big-IQs and run that python script) to delete snapshots older than 30 days, for example. For that purpose, I have searched for several documentation regarding API for snapshot management on Big IQ , basically there are 2 API calls relevant for me: 1.- Snapshot checkup: GET /cm/<module>/tasks/snapshot-config/<id> 2.- Snapshot deletion: DELETE mgmt/cm/<module>/tasks/snapshot-config/<id> Now the values between <>, which are: 'module' and 'id', in our case module = asm and 'id' is for the snapshot we want to checkup and delete if meets the criteria. The thing here is that, we do not have any 'id' number, because the snapshots are created by several business units outside our team, where they log into the Big-IQ's GUI and deploy the snapshot manually. I have tried to send a GET request (via POSTMAN) using these variations (hoping some sort of response): GET /cm/<module>/tasks/snapshot-config/ GET /cm/<module>/tasks/snapshot-config/* But logically is expecting the 'id' value so it shoots back an error. NOTE: the 'id' is provided when you try the API call for snapshot creation: POST mgmt/cm/<module>/tasks/snapshot-config. That particular POST, only request the name of the snapshot as parameter and then provides the precious 'id' in return. So you can see my dilemma and where I am missing data. QUESTIONS: 1.- Is there any way to fetch the 'id' using any resource? 2.- where exactly is located the repository for these snapshots in the Big-IQ? I mean the Linux's bash prompt for each Big-IQ, I have searched and searched but I haven't found them... This would be a great peace of information. 3.- Is this the right approach? I found some information about 'restcurl' but I am not completely sure about this resource. Thanks.-
