F5 Python SDK: How to get virtual server availability?
Due to my limited Python and SDK experience I am finding it difficult to easily obtain the availability state of a virtual server. Given a 'virtual' object, what is the best/easiest way to return the value of that VS' 'Availability' state (offline, available, unknown, etc)? I can do the following: my_virtual = mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(name='some_virtual') stats = my_virtual.stats.load() Printing the stats.raw shows that there is a nested dictionary entry keyed 'status.availibityState' that appears to hold the value I'm looking for. Forgive my inexperience, but what is the easiest way to get the availability state of a virtual using the SDK? Perhaps a method I'm missing that retrieves the value above, or the value is easily obtained elsewhere. Appreciate any assitance!
How to install a cert and a key through Python SDK
I am trying to install a cert and a key through Python SDK. BIG-IP Version: 12.1.2 First.. I had no problem with uploading certs and keys to F5's /var/config/rest/downloads/ folder. Now when I tried the following python code to install cert and key, I didn't see any error. key = bitip.tm.sys.file.ssl_keys.ssl_key.create(name='test', partition='Common', sourcePath='file:/var/config/rest/downloads/test.key') cert = bitip.tm.sys.file.ssl_certs.ssl_cert.create(name='test', partition='Common', sourcePath='file:/var/config/rest/downloads/test.crt') However when I logged on BIG-IP device and clicked a cert or key to see their actual content, I couldn't see any content. "No certificate" under certificate tab and an error message of "An error has occurred while trying to process your request." under Key tab. Does any one know what is causing this problem? Or is there any way I can troubleshoot this issue? Thank you.
Add/Remove ServerSSL profile on a Virtual Server using SDK
Hi, I am trying to add/remove ServerSSL profile to a Virtual Server using F5 SDK. I have the following script that will read the current profiles from the Virtual Server but I don't get my head around how to use .update() to delete a "serverSSL" profile if exist from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot import getpass, sys # Variable Section BigIP = "172.31.129.70" BigIP_username = "mshoaib" vip_name = 'www.example.com-https' BigIP_password = getpass.getpass(prompt='Enter password: ', stream=None) # Connect to BigIP f5_mgmt = ManagementRoot(BigIP, BigIP_username, BigIP_password) # Load VIP first vip_info = f5_mgmt.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(name=vip_name, partition='Common') # Read all profiles pf_info = vip_info.profiles_s.get_collection() pf_list_before = [] print("Profiles before deletion:") for a, pf in enumerate(pf_info): print(a,pf.name) pf_list_before.append(pf.name) print(pf_list_before) pf_list_after = [] print("--------") for index, pf in enumerate(pf_info): if pf.name == 'serverssl': print(" Removing Server SSL") pf_info.pop(index) print("Profiles after deletion: ") for a, pf in enumerate(pf_info): print(a,pf.name) pf_list_after.append(pf.name) print(pf_list_after) Out put is : [mshoaib@ca01net03 new_domain]$ python3.6 update-profiles.py Enter password: Profiles before deletion: 0 http_XForwardedFor 1 oneconnect 2 serverssl 3 tcp-lan-optimized 4 tcp-wan-optimized 5 wildcard.example.com-ssl ['http_XForwardedFor', 'oneconnect', 'serverssl', 'tcp-lan-optimized', 'tcp-wan-optimized', 'wildcard.example.com-ssl'] -------- Removing Server SSL Profiles after deletion: 0 http_XForwardedFor 1 oneconnect 2 tcp-lan-optimized 3 tcp-wan-optimized 4 wildcard.example.com-ssl ['http_XForwardedFor', 'oneconnect', 'tcp-lan-optimized', 'tcp-wan-optimized', 'wildcard.example.com-ssl'] [mshoaib@ca01net03 new_domain]$ Equivalent TMSH CLI are : tmsh modify ltm virtual www.example.com-https profiles add { serverssl } tmsh modify ltm virtual www.example.com-https profiles delete { serverssl } I appreciate any code snippet or link. Thanks, Muhammad
How to get a monitor from a pool through REST API or Python SDK?
I have a simple challenge: Given a pool, find its associated monitor. The problem is that the query for a monitor requires the monitor type. LTM pools don't carry info on the kind of monitor they use, only the partition and name of the monitor. I could theoretically iterate through all possible types of monitors there are, but what is the correct way to do it?
