Struggling with Node.js API for Searching Profiles Across Multiple F5 Devices
Hey everyone, I’m working on a Node.js API that connects to my frontend and allows users to search for an SSL or LTM profile by name and get back all the relevant details. The twist is that the profile could live on any one of 40+ F5 devices (different mgmt IPs). Here’s what I’ve done so far: I’m using the F5 REST API and creating a session token for each mgmt IP to avoid basic auth on every call. I built a loop to query each device, aggregate results, and return the profile details if it exists. The problem: It’s not consistent. Sometimes the profile is found; other times it’s missed—even though it’s definitely there. I’m getting timeouts pretty frequently, which adds to the frustration. Feels like I’m doing too many sequential calls and maybe hitting performance or token issues. Has anyone tackled something similar? How do you structure your calls to make them reliable across multiple devices? Is there a recommended pattern for handling large-scale F5 REST calls in Node.js (parallelization, rate limits, caching)? Should I stick to session tokens or consider another auth pattern? Any tricks for minimizing timeouts when calling multiple mgmt IPs? Any examples, best practices, or lessons learned would be hugely appreciated. At this point, I’m looking for a clean way to make this work reliably before I refactor again. Thanks
Linerate 2.6.1 / Socket.IO - Express
Suppose a farm of Nodejs servers, running Express and Socket.IO, without any reverse proxy such as apache or nginx. Express and Socket.IO are running in HTTPS Is Linerate support Express and Websocket ( socket.io ). I tried to several setup such as VIP ( HTTP:443 ) ---> VS ( HTTP ) ---> RS ( HTTP ) with the right SSL Profile and Hostname or VIP ( TCP:443 ) ----> VS ( TCP ) ----> RS ( TCP ) with the right SSL profile and Hostname Nothing to do, this does not work and claiming for 404 not found. However, with the same setup for regular PHP Backends it was working. Any advices ? Is there any online ressources on how accomplish this setup on linerate ?
