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.

Sorting only applies to the time-aggregated feature. You do not need to specify this field in a report generation request. timeRange --------- Specifies the time range, in microseconds, for which to calculate a report, such as: {"from": 1410420888000000, "to": 1410424488000000 } You do not need to specify this field in a report generation request. entityFilters ============= Specifies the entities and values for which to calculate a report.

For the existing-entities feature, AVR supports the OPERATOR_TYPE_LIKE predicate.

Problem this snippet solves: This script is an external monitor for TACACS+ that simulates a TACACS+ client authenticating a test user, and marks the status of a pool member as up if the authentication is successful. If the connection is down/times out, or the authentication fails due to invalid account settings, the script marks the pool member status as down. This is heavily inspired by the Radius External Monitor (Python) by AlanTen. How to use this snippet: Prerequisite This script uses the TACACS+ Python client by Ansible (tested on version 2.6). Create the directory /config/eav/tacacs_plus on BIG-IP Copy all contents from tacacs_plus package into /config/eav/tacacs_plus. You may also need to download six.py from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/benjaminp/six/master/six.py and place it in /config/eav/tacacs_plus. You will need to have a test account provisioned on the TACACS+ server for the script to perform authentication. Installation On BIG-IP, import the code snippet below as an External Monitor Program File.
