I need REST api for list datagroup and check the irule is applied to which vs

Hi Robert,

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal?\$select=name | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list datagroup links (internal):

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal?\$select=selfLink | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list a specific internal datagroups records (link retrieved from command above; make sure to replace admin domain and name i.e. ~Common~datagroup_acl_data in sample below):

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal/~Common~datagroup_acl_data?\$select=records | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list datagroup names (external):

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/external?\$select=name | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list datagroup links (external):

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/external?\$select=selfLink | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list virtual server names:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual?\$select=name | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list virtual server links:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual?\$select=selfLink | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/$\n/g; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

To list virtual server associated iRule(s) (sample virtual server link retrieved from output above; make sure to replace admin domain and name i.e. ~Common~vs_105 in sample below):

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~vs_105?\$select=rules | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/,/\n/; s/(\[)/\1\n/g; s/(\])/\n]/g'

Thanks, Stephan

wait one sec

I want to know which VS the irule is applied to

for example: in irule editor , I can right click one irule and check the porperty to see how many vips this irule is applied to

Is there any simliar way in REST interface?

any one?

Child objects don't reference their parents, so you'd necessarily have to loop through each parent VIP to see if a specific rule was applied. So while I'm quite certain there's an easier way to do this, I cooked up a little Bash script to loop through all of the VIPs in /Common and find a given rule. Tweak as needed.

!/bin/bash

 find and loop through all of the VIPs
for vip in `curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual" |grep -o '\"name\":\"[^"]*' |awk -F"\"" '{ print $4 }'`
do
     find the rules associated with this VIP
    rule=`curl -sk -u 'admin:admin' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://x.x.x.x/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/$vip" |grep -o '\"rules\":[^,]*' |awk -F":" '{ print $2 }'`

     specify here which rule you're looking for (glob match)
    if [[ $rule == *"redirect"* ]]
    then    
         if rule is found echo some text
        echo "$vip contains $rule"
    fi
done

This one-liner will dump all virtual servers and the associated iRules:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual" | \
grep -Eo '("name":"[^,]+|"rules":[^]]+"\])' | tr '\n' ';' | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/;("name")/\n\1/g' | sed -r 's/;$//g'

Output looks i.e. as follows:

"name":"vs_51";"rules":["/Common/rule_remove_xff","/Common/rule_plaintext"]
"name":"vs_52";"rules":["/Common/rule_remove_xff"]
"name":"vs_53"
"name":"vs_54";"rules":["/Common/rule_plaintext"]

If you filter the output i.e. by using grep or awk for a specific iRule (i.e. "rule_remove_xff") you can expect the following output containing the relevant virtual server names only:

curl -sk -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual" | grep -Eo '("name":"[^,]+|"rules":[^]]+"\])' | tr '\n' ';' | sed -r 's/$/\n/; s/;("name")/\n\1/g' | sed -r 's/;$//g' | awk -F ';' '/rule_remove_xff/ {print $1}'
"name":"vs_51"
"name":"vs_52"

An alternative would be to use plain tmsh. The example below (one-liner again) does a recursive search to cover all admin partions and folders:

$ tmsh -q -c "cd /; list ltm virtual recursive" | tr -d '\n' | sed -r 's/([^[:space:]])}/\1}\n/g' | \
tr -s '[:space:]' | sed -r 's/([^[:space:]])\}/\1 }/' | \
grep -Eow '(virtual [^ ]+|rules (none|\{[^\}]+\}))' | tr '\n' ';' | \
sed -r 's/;$/\n/; s/;(virtual )/\n\1/g'
virtual Common/vs_51;rules { Common/rule_remove_xff Common/rule_plaintext }
virtual Common/vs_52;rules { Common/rule_remove_xff }
virtual Common/vs_53
virtual Common/vs_54;rules { Common/rule_plaintext }
virtual Common/vs_55
virtual myadminpartition/myiapp.app/myiapp_redir_vs;rules { myadminpartition/myownfolder/rule_myredirect }
virtual myadminpartition/myiapp.app/myiapp_vs

The output above lists as well the strange case of using folders (by iApp and own) in an administrative partition.

thanks sir. I will try it with python to check the interface
