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?
AS3 Limitations
Below are some limitations of AS3 as means of Automation. config deployment is locked down by Automation, no manual intervention possible for below use cases - incidents - new requirements/features need to wait for automation to be updated - Automation failures cause deployment to be stalled until automation is fixed - Operational issues, maybe require out-of-band changes outside of AS3 - Source of truth must be reconciled periodically with F5 device to check for config drift - 2 layers of failures during config deployment one is Automation and second is source of truth, therefore involves more troubleshooting effort - Reliance on an External Source of Truth management, non-native to F5 and not supported by F5 - AS3 is Less mature compared to iControl Rest, iControl Rest was introduced in TMOS 11.x
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

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 def add_node_to_pool(self, node_name, pool_name, port_number): # method to add node to the pool created 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 + ' added to pool ' + pool_name)
