BIG-IP Next HA Pair Onboarding REST API
I've been playing around with BIG-IP Next in my home lab for the past few days and have managed to successfully onboard an HA pair of BIG-IP Next instances via the BIG-IP Next Central Manager GUI. I am now trying to do the same thing, but this time with the REST API. However, when I attempt to do this, I receive the following error when checking the onboarding task from Postman : "failure_reason": "failed to save details about new onboarding node (address 10.1.0.242)", I am using the following JSON documented under the 'Deploy an Onboarding Manifest' heading (I have just substituted the property values to reflect my lab environment) andI am sending the API call to the Central Manager management IP. https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/big-iq/mgmt-api/v0.0.1/ApiReferences/bigip_public_api_ref/r_openapi-next.html#operation/DeployOnboardingManifest Out of interest, has anyone managed to get this working?
Finding all virtual servers with "log all traffic" policy applied via API
Hello, I am trying to locate virtual server configs in my F5 environment that are configured to log all traffic requests. Obviously, this has a detrimental impact to F5 logging performance. Is there a way to use the TMSH shell or REST API to interrogate the F5 appliance via a script and get a listing of all virtuals that use a "log all traffic" policy so I can change the policy and give our logging servers a bit of respite? Thank you, Kyle
An example of an AS3 Rest API call to create a GSLB configuration on BIG-IP.
Hi everyone, Below you can find an example of an AS3 Rest API call that creates a simple GSLB configuration on BIG-IP devices. The main purpose of this article is to share this configuration with others. Of course, on different sites (github, etc) you can find different bits of data, but I think this example will be useful, because it contains all the necessary information about how to create different GSLB objects at the same time, such as: Data Centers (DCs), Servers, Virtual Servers (VSs), Wide IPs, pools and more over. { "class": "AS3", "declaration": { "class": "ADC", "schemaVersion": "3.21.0", "id": "GSLB_test", "Common": { "class": "Tenant", "Shared": { "class": "Application", "template": "shared", "DC1": { "class": "GSLB_Data_Center" }, "DC2": { "class": "GSLB_Data_Center" }, "device01": { "class": "GSLB_Server", "dataCenter": { "use": "DC1" }, "virtualServers": [ { "name": "/ocp/Shared/ingress_vs_1_443", "address": "A.B.C.D", "port": 443, "monitors": [ { "bigip": "/Common/custom_icmp_2" } ] } ], "devices": [ { "address": "A.B.C.D" } ] }, "device02": { "class": "GSLB_Server", "dataCenter": { "use": "DC2" }, "virtualServers": [ { "name": "/ocp2/Shared/ingress_vs_2_443", "address": "A.B.C.D", "port": 443, "monitors": [ { "bigip": "/Common/custom_icmp_2" } ] } ], "devices": [ { "address": "A.B.C.D" } ] }, "dns_listener": { "class": "Service_UDP", "virtualPort": 53, "virtualAddresses": [ "A.B.C.D" ], "profileUDP": { "use": "custom_udp" }, "profileDNS": { "use": "custom_dns" } }, "custom_dns": { "class": "DNS_Profile", "remark": "DNS Profile test", "parentProfile": { "bigip": "/Common/dns" } }, "custom_udp": { "class": "UDP_Profile", "datagramLoadBalancing": true }, "testpage_local": { "class": "GSLB_Domain", "domainName": "testpage.local", "resourceRecordType": "A", "pools": [ { "use": "testpage_pool" } ] }, "testpage_pool": { "class": "GSLB_Pool", "resourceRecordType": "A", "members": [ { "server": { "use": "/Common/Shared/device01" }, "virtualServer": "/ocp/Shared/ingress_vs_1_443" }, { "server": { "use": "/Common/Shared/device02" }, "virtualServer": "/ocp2/Shared/ingress_vs_2_443" } ] } } } } } P.S. The AS3 scheme guide was very helpful: https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/extensions/f5-appsvcs-extension/latest/refguide/schema-reference.html
BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 651.0 Hotfix HF5
Hello, We've the following version of BIG-IP 11.4.1 Build 651.0 Hotfix HF5 devices in our lab and we would like to start using REST API. We know that v11.5 is already released and in stable state, but can you let us know whether it's okay to start using REST API in v11.4.1 with HF5? Are there any definitive steps to enable or trigger REST API service in F5 LTM v11.4.1? Any further help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
