python rest api: How to get profiles details?

with code like this I can get list of virtuals and list of their applied profiles, but all I get for a profile is name and partition... How do I get the actual profile objects so I can inspect their...

    This SelfLink doesn't contain any info regarding configuration. It's only a reference pointing itself.

    Check this ->

    # curl -sku admin:XXXX https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~myvirtual/profiles/~Common~tcp | json-format 
{
  "kind": "tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate",
  "name": "tcp",
  "partition": "Common",
  "fullPath": "/Common/tcp",
  "generation": 239,
  "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~myvirtual/profiles/~Common~tcp?ver\u003d12.1.4.1",
  "context": "all"
}

    But if you search just for the profile you have all the configuration ->

    # curl -sku admin:XXXX https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/tcp/~Common~tcp | json-format                                                
{
  "kind": "tm:ltm:profile:tcp:tcpstate",
  "name": "tcp",
  "partition": "Common",
  "fullPath": "/Common/tcp",
  "generation": 1,
  "selfLink": "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/profile/tcp/~Common~tcp?ver\u003d12.1.4.1",
  "abc": "enabled",
  "ackOnPush": "enabled",
  "closeWaitTimeout": 5,
  ...
}

    So, as I have already said, you need to capture both queries and associate them.

    KR,

Thanks a lot Dario. That is great! I wonder though, if there is a way to "load" the profile directly using the information provided by the profile object found in the virtual server.

 

In my code above, I get the profile in variable "p", which has an attribute "attrs", which pprinted looks like this:

 

{'context': 'all',
 'fullPath': '/Common/udp',
 'generation': 1,
 'kind': 'tm:ltm:virtual:profiles:profilesstate',
 'name': 'udp',
 'partition': 'Common',
 'selfLink': 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~syslog-udp-514-vs/profiles/~Common~udp?ver=14.1.0.2'}

Is there a method load(p.selfLink) or something like that?
