How can I get started with iCall
Hi all . Recently, I want to learn how to use iCall to do some automated operations work, but I haven't seen any comprehensive tutorials about iCall on askf5. Are there any good articles I can refer to for learning? Do I need to systematically learn Tcl first? I still have a question about iCall. What is the difference between using iCall and using shell scripts with scheduled tasks to achieve automated management and configuration of F5? Best RegardsHigh availability Blade
Hello everyone, I would like to know if is possible to configuire high availability on two Blade BX110. At the moment I have only one blade where there are all Tenants and, the capacity of using it, is 85% . The customer want to buy another Blade but, it wants that for every Velos, te two blades build a unique partition. Is it possible to do it by considering that in one blade there are all Tenants in a production environment ? Which type of impact there will be ? To sum up could i configure both blade in high availability with no run the risk to block the services of the Tenants ? I have read that is possible to make a setup of the blades but is not mentioned that this activity could provide, if on the one are presents Tenants, to reset the configuration. Many thanks in advanced for your help. Awaiting your news,ACME DNS RFC-2136 Let's Encrypt certs
I've been pushing on certbot to handle CNAME entries when ordering certs, and finally given up. https://github.com/certbot/certbot/issues/6787 https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/9970 https://github.com/certbot/certbot/pull/7244 This repo contains scripts that: Create an ACME account with Let's Encrypt use TSIG credentials to talk to bind (RFC-2136) create TXT record in correct zone by following CNAME and SOA entries if present downloads certs installs certs on one or more F5s. The F5 credentials requires Administrator rights as Certificate Manager can't upload files. https://github.com/timriker/certmgr CNAME records are recommended to a zone with minimal or no replication and a low TTL. ie: _acme-challenge.example.com CNAME example.com._tls.example.com _acme-challenge.example.net CNAME example.net._tls.example.com _tls.example.com would have one name server and 30 second TTL or so a TSIG key would be created that only needs update access to _tls.example.com Comments welcome.

Welcome back to another edition of “How I Did It.” It’s been a while since we looked at observability… Oh wait, I just said that. Anyway, in this post I’ll walk through how I integrated F5 Telemetry Streaming with Dynatrace. To show the results, I’ve included sample dashboards that highlight how the ingested telemetry data can be visualized effectively. Let’s dive in before I repeat myself again.

Dears, I want to know the reason why this suggestion is showing an illegal request status even though response code is 200 OK. Is it because multiple violations triggered? The policy is in transparent mode and I am just verifying the suggestions. Can someone please provide an expert advise?
