Perl Ltm Config To Xml/Excel (version 3.1)
Problem this snippet solves: This code is an improvement of "Perl Ltm Config To Xml (version 2)" published on previous DevCentral (https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/perl-ltm-config-to-xml-version-2-1009) queries the components of a virtual servers configuration and prints it out in an XML format. Is recursive through partitions and prints the following data: VS_name VS_IP: IP and port RD (route domain) VS_state: status (ex. green) and state (ex. enabled) Profiles: name, type, context. If SSL profile aditional info: certificate, chain, key, cipher list Persistence iRules: order and name Pool_name LB-method: method, minimum active members Member: name, IP, port, ratio, priority, status and state Monitors: name, interval, timeout. If HTTP/HTTPS monitors additional info: Send and Receive strings SNAT_name SNAT_members Has a new option "-s" or "-simplified" which outputs multiple values like the profile list or pool members into a unique XML field. Purpose of simplified mode is to be able to have one Virtual Server per row on Excel, with lists showing on a single cell. This code has been tested on BIG-IP version 12.1 and 14.1. How to use this snippet: Default mode: ./LTM-to-XML.pl bigip uid pwd > result.xml Example for simplified mode and removal of partition information: ./LTM-to-XML.pl -s 127.0.0.1 uid pwd | sed "s/\/.*app\///g" | sed "s/\/Common\///g" > result.xml The XML can be dragged and dropped on MS Excel and opened as an XML table. Code : (see ZIP file) Tested this on version: 12.1, 14.1
