identify unused objects in a config (bigIP.conf)
Hello, When a config is changed often, and by different teams, it is not unusual that services do not get removed properly. How to know whether a node is not a member of a pool? If a certificate file is not used by an SSL profile? If a pool is not used by a virtual server? If a VLAN is never designated by VS or pool? Is there any tool you know to identify "useless" or obsolete data in a config. thank you very much AlbertoWhat CLI tools are in your toolbox for testing or troubleshooting application deployments on BIG-IP?
In trying to nail down a rate limiting solution, I reached back for my trusty apache-bench utility, ab, to push some load with concurrency at the virtual server. But...in today's SSL everywhere, discovered that ab does not have a flag to ignore SSL errors, and I don't have valid certs in my local lab, so I couldn't use that to push load. In a quick search I found hey, installed that on my ubuntu test box, and seems to be a reasonable replacement (see below). But that got me thinking...what cli tools are out there for test/troubleshooting that I'm missing out on? jrahm@unuc:~$ hey -n 10000 -c 5 https://172.16.101.50/ Summary: Total: 8.2474 secs Slowest: 0.0510 secs Fastest: 0.0023 secs Average: 0.0041 secs Requests/sec: 1212.5047 Total data: 20000 bytes Size/request: 2 bytes Response time histogram: 0.002 [1] | 0.007 [9956] |■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■■ 0.012 [36] | 0.017 [2] | 0.022 [0] | 0.027 [0] | 0.032 [0] | 0.036 [0] | 0.041 [0] | 0.046 [0] | 0.051 [5] | Latency distribution: 10% in 0.0032 secs 25% in 0.0036 secs 50% in 0.0040 secs 75% in 0.0045 secs 90% in 0.0050 secs 95% in 0.0055 secs 99% in 0.0065 secs

Agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhances the capabilities of a GenAI chatbot by integrating dynamic knowledge retrieval into its conversational abilities, making it more context-aware and accurate. In this demo, I will demonstrate an autonomous decision-making GenAI chatbot utilizing Agentic RAG. I will explore what Agentic RAG is and why it's crucial in today's AI landscape. I will also discuss how organizations can leverage GPUaaS (GPU as a Service) or AI Factory providers to accelerate their AI strategy. F5 platform provides robust security features that protect sensitive data while ensuring high availability and performance. They optimize the chatbot by streamlining traffic management and reducing latency, ensuring smooth interactions even during high demand. This integration ensures the GenAI chatbot is not only smart but also reliable and secure for enterprise use.
