Python module to post and retrieve IControl Rest JSON objects for AVR statistics
Problem this snippet solves: This module simplifies making Python dictionary objects that are converted to IControl rest AVR JSON objects. It also handles making AVR requests and retrieving results as well allowing multiple AVR requests to be queued, posted and retrieved. It also has some basis type checking for the elements of a AVR request. This module requires Bigip 12.1 on the target that statistics are retrieved. How to use this snippet: The main class is rest_avr.avr_req. It is a dictionary class that maps directly to an IControl Rest AVR JSON request as translated by json.dumps. Each dictionary element is an object derived from a customer class for each part of the request. The element classes have add() and clear() functions. if the element class only allows one entry the add() function will replace the existing entry, otherwise it will append the entry to the request element. The rest_avr.avr_req class also has functions to populate the HTTP host and authentication values for the target system. rest_avr.avr_req.post_and_response returns the Python representation of the JSON result of the query. rest_avr.avr_req.add_to_queue() adds the currently constructed request to a queue of requests to post. rest_avr.avr_req.post_and_response_queue() returns a python list of results of queued queries. The following code sample constructs, posts and returns results for an AVR statistics request for specific DNS records and a specificrecord type, then queues multiple quests and posts and returns results. #!/usr/bin/python import json import sys import time import rest_avr #print rest_avr.ShowAVRJsonApi #Populate the url avr_dns_req=rest_avr.avr_req() avr_dns_req.auth('admin','admin') avr_dns_req.url_base('10.10.2.113','dns') #Populate the json object avr_dns_req['analyticsModule'].add('dns') avr_dns_req['reportFeatures'].add('time-aggregated') avr_dns_req['entityFilters'].add('domain-name', 'OPERATOR_TYPE_EQUAL', ['test2.test1.com','test1.test1.com']) avr_dns_req['entityFilters'].add('query-type', 'OPERATOR_TYPE_EQUAL', ['a']) avr_dns_req['viewMetrics'].add('packets') avr_dns_req['viewDimensions'].add('domain-name') avr_dns_req['metricFilters'].add('packets', 'OPERATOR_TYPE_GREATER_THAN', 0) avr_dns_req['sortByMetrics'].add('packets', 'ascending') avr_dns_req['pagination'].add(20, 0) avr_dns_req['timeRange'].add(1461778251000000, None) #Post and retrieve results. result_py=avr_dns_req.post_and_response() if result_py != None: print ('\n' + result_py['results']['timeAggregated'][0]['dimensions'][0]['value'] + " " + result_py['results']['timeAggregated'][0]['metricValues'][0]['value'] + '\n') else: print result_py.error_layer print result_py.error_code print result_py.error_text # Now add multiple requests to a queue avr_dns_req.add_to_queue() avr_dns_req['entityFilters'].clear() avr_dns_req['entityFilters'].add('query-type', 'OPERATOR_TYPE_EQUAL', ['aaaa']) avr_dns_req.add_to_queue() #post and retrieve queued results result_py_q=avr_dns_req.post_and_response_queue() for result_py in result_py_q: if result_py != None: print ('\n' + result_py['results']['timeAggregated'][0]['dimensions'][0]['value'] + " " + result_py['results']['timeAggregated'][0]['metricValues'][0]['value'] + '\n') else: print result_py.error_layer print result_py.error_code print result_py.error_text Code : """ rest_avr provides a python interface to Bigip AVR statistics using the REST API.

Problem this snippet solves: To report an issue with the F5-LTM or F5-BIGIP modules, please use the Issues sections of the GitHub repos (here and here) instead of commenting here. Thanks! This PowerShell module uses the iControlREST API to manipulate and query pools, pool members, virtual servers, and iRules. It aims to support version 11.5.1 and higher, and to conform to the schedule for technical support of versions, though this may eventually prove to become difficult. The module currently includes some functionality that, strictly speaking, is outside the scope of the LTM module. Hence, there is an active effort to wrap this LTM module into a larger BIG-IP module, and relocate that functionality elsewhere within that parent module, as well as expand the scope of functionality to include BIG-IP DNS (formerly GTM) and possibly other areas. Both the LTM module and the parent BIG-IP module are projects on github. Please use these projects to report any issues you discover. Thanks! The module contains the following functions. Add-iRuleToVirtualServer Add-iRuleToVirtualServer Add-PoolMember Add-PoolMonitor Disable-PoolMember Disable-VirtualServer Enable-PoolMember Enable-VirtualServer Get-CurrentConnectionCount (deprecated; use Get-PoolMemberStats | Select-Object -ExpandProperty 'serverside.curConns') Get-F5Session (will be deprecated in future versions. use New-F5Session) Get-F5Status Get-HealthMonitor Get-HealthMonitorType Get-iRule Get-iRuleCollection (deprecated; use Get-iRule) Get-Node Get-BIGIPPartition Get-Pool Get-PoolList (deprecated; use Get-Pool) Get-PoolMember Get-PoolMemberCollection (deprecated; use Get-PoolMember) Get-PoolMemberCollectionStatus Get-PoolMemberDescription (deprecated; use Get-PoolMember) Get-PoolMemberIP (deprecated; use Get-PoolMember) Get-PoolMembers (deprecated; use Get-PoolMember) Get-PoolMemberStats Get-PoolMemberStatus (deprecated; use Get-PoolMember) Get-PoolMonitor Get-PoolsForMember Get-StatusShape Get-VirtualServer Get-VirtualServeriRuleCollection (deprecated; use Get-VirtualServer | Where rules | Select -ExpandProperty rules) Get-VirtualServerList (deprecated; use Get-VirtualServer) Invoke-RestMethodOverride New-F5Session New-HealthMonitor New-Node New-Pool New-VirtualServer Remove-HealthMonitor Remove-iRule Remove-iRuleFromVirtualServer Remove-Pool Remove-PoolMember Remove-PoolMonitor Remove-ProfileRamCache Remove-Node Remove-VirtualServer Set-iRule Set-PoolLoadBalancingMode (deprecated; use Set-Pool) Set-PoolMemberDescription Set-Pool Set-VirtualServer Sync-DeviceToGroup Test-F5Session Test-Functionality Test-HealthMonitor Test-Node Test-Pool Test-VirtualServer How to use this snippet: To use the module, click 'Download Zip', extract the files, and place them in a folder named F5-LTM beneath your PowerShell modules folder. By default, this is %USERPROFILE%\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules. The WindowsPowerShell and Modules folders may need to be created. You will most likely need to unblock the files after extracting them. Use the Unblock-File PS cmdlet to accomplish this. The Validation.cs class file (based on code posted by Brian Scholer) allows for using the REST API with LTM devices with self-signed SSL certificates. Nearly all of the functions require an F5 session object as a parameter, which contains the base URL for the F5 LTM and a credential object for a user with privileges to manipulate the F5 LTM via the REST API. Use the New-F5session function to create this object. This function expects the following parameters: The name or IP address of the F5 LTM device A credential object for a user with rights to use the REST API An optional TokenLifespan value for extending the life of the authentication token past the default 20 minutes You can create a credential object using Get-Credential and entering the username and password at the prompts, or programmatically like this: $secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString "PlainTextPassword" -AsPlainText -Force $mycreds = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential "username", $secpasswd Thanks to Kotesh Bandhamravuri and his blog entry for this snippet. There is a function called Test-Functionality that takes an F5Session object, a new pool name, a new virtual server, an IP address for the virtual server, and a computer name as a pool member, and validates nearly all the functions in the module. I've also contributed this code sample for how to gather some basic info about your LTM with this PS module. The module has been tested on: 11.5.1 Build 8.0.175 Hotfix 8 and later 11.6.0 Build 5.0.429 Hotfix 4 and later 12.0 / 12.1 13.0 Code : https://github.com/joel74/POSH-LTM-Rest Tested this on version: 11.5
iCR Python Module for iControl REST
Problem this snippet solves: This is a python module to simplify using iControl REST. Install using pip: pip install iCR or retrieve from https://pypi.python.org/pypi?:action=display&name=iCR&version=2.1 As simple as: #!/usr/bin/env python from iCR import iCR bigip = iCR("172.24.9.132","admin","admin") virtuals = bigip.get("ltm/virtual") for vs in virtuals['items']: print vs['name'] This prints out a list of Virtual Servers. Supported methods: init(hostname,username,password,[timeout,port,icontrol_version,folder,token,debug]) get(url,[select,top,skip,filter]) -> returns data or False getlarge(url,size,[select]) -> Used to retrieve large datasets in chunks. Returns data or False create(url,data) -> returns data or False modify(url,data,[patch=True]) -> returns data or False delete(url) -> returns True or False upload(file) -> file is a local file eg /var/tmp/test.txt, returns True or False download(file) -> files are located in /shared/images, returns True or False create_cert(files) -> files is an array containing paths to cert and key. Returns name of cert or False get_asm_id(name) -> name is the name of a policy. Returns an array of IDs or False create_hash(name) -> name is the name of the partition and policy. eg /Common/test_policy. This reduces the need to retrieve an array of hashes from the BIG-IP. Returns a string. get_token() -> this retrieves a BIG-IP token based on the username and password and sets it as the token in use. Returns the token ID or False delete_token() -> This deletes the object token from the BIG-IP and from the object create_transaction() -> creates a transaction and returns the transaction number ID as a string, or False. Subsequent requests will be added to the transaction until commit_transaction is called. Transaction ID is stored in object.transaction commit_transaction() -> Commits the transaction stored in object.transaction. Returns True or False command(args,[cmd]) -> Runs a command using the arguments string args. Returns the returned output or True on success or False on failure. Note: Be sure to double-escape single quotes eg \\' and single escape double quotes eg \" cmd options are ping/save/load/restart/reboot Module Variables: icr_session - the link to the requests session raw - the raw returned JSON code - the returned HTTP Status Code eg 200 error - in the case of error, the exception error string headers - the response headers icontrol_version - set this to specify a specific version of iControl debug - boolean True or False to set debugging on or off port - set the port ( 443 by default ) folder - set this to create in a specific partition token - use this to set a specific token. If this is set, it will be used instead of basic auth select - use this with get to select the returned data top - use this with get to return a set number of records skip - use this to skip to a specific record number transaction - stores the Transaction ID How to use this snippet: Examples Setup a REST connection to a device #!/usr/bin/env python from iCR import iCR bigip = iCR("172.24.9.132","admin","admin",timeout=10) Create a Virtual Server vs_config = {'name':'test_vs'} createvs = bigip.create("ltm/virtual",vs_config,timeout=5) Retrieve the VS we just created virt = bigip.get("ltm/virtual/test_vs",select="name") print "Virtual Server created: " + virt['name'] Set the timeout bigip.timeout = 20 Now delete the VS we just created delvs = bigip.delete("ltm/virtual/test_vs") Retrieve ASM policy to ID mapping policies = bigip.get("asm/policies",select="name,id") Print a table of ASM policies with learning mode print print "Policy Name Learning Mode" print "------------------------------------------" for item in policies['items']: enabled = bigip.get("asm/policies/" + item['id'] + "/policy-builder",select="learningMode") print '{:32}'.format(item['name']) + enabled['learningMode'] File upload fp = "/home/pwhite/input.csv" if bigip.upload(fp): print "File " + fp + " uploaded" File download file="BIGIP-12.1.2.0.0.249.iso" download = bigip.download(file) if not download: print "File " + file + " download error" SSL Certificate creation In different folder bigip.folder = "TestFolder" files = ("TestCert.crt","TestCert.key") cert = bigip.create_cert(files) if cert: print "Certificate " + cert + " created" Turn on debugging bigip.debug = True Retrieve ASM policy IDs asm = bigip.get_asm_id("dummy_policy") print len(asm) + " IDs returned" print "ID: " + str(asm[0]) Convert an ASM policy name to hash hash = bigip.create_hash("/Common/test-policy") enabled = bigip.get("asm/policies/" + hash + "/policy-builder",select="learningMode") print '{:32}'.format(item['name']) + enabled['learningMode'] Retrieve and use a token bigip.get_token() Delete the token bigip.delete_token() Developed on Python 2.7 but works with v3. Works on TMOS 11.6 onwards though some features may not be implemented, such as tokens.
