This is the F5-icontrol gem. If you have an F5, it can use the iControl API to automate things
This is not the official library. That one is here. This copy is without warranty. Heck, it probably doesn't even work.
I originally set out to improve the official one:
- Improve testing using rspec and vcr
- Convert to a supported SOAP parser, such as savon
- Support Ruby 2.0.0 and 2.1.0
- Make the interface to the library more Ruby-esque
But given the original one was pretty bare-bones, I started over.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'f5-icontrol'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install f5-icontrol
NOTE: The REST interface is still a work in progress! The conventions may change until we release.
First configure an instance of the API to point to your F5
require 'f5/icontrol'
f5 = F5::Icontrol::RAPI.new username: 'admin', password: 'admin', host: '10.1.1.1'After that, the calls should line up directly to the API Docs. For collections, use the following methods:
| HTTP Verb | Method |
|---|---|
| GET | get_collection |
Note that get_collection is optional if you call #each or some Enumberable method. So foo.get_collection.each can be shortened to foo.each.
For resources
| HTTP Verb | Method |
|---|---|
| GET | load |
| PUT | update |
| DELETE | delete |
| POST | create |
For example, to get all the pools:
pools = f5.mgmt.tm.ltm.pool.get_collection
puts pools.map(&:name)
# shorter method
puts f5.mgmt.tm.ltm.pool.map(&:name)It'll also understand subresources:
members = pools.members.load
puts members.map(&:address)Or, let's create a pool:
api.mgmt.tm.ltm.pool.create(name: 'seanstestrest')Note - SOAP will likely be deprecated prior to version 1.0 of this gem. The REST interface is more intuitive and dropping SOAP makes this gem so much lighter.
First, configure the gem:
F5::Icontrol.configure do |f|
f.host = "hostname.of.bigip"
f.username = "username"
f.password = "password"
endThen use it:
api = F5::Icontrol::API.new
response = api.LocalLB.Pool.get_listor You can configure per api client.
api = F5::Icontrol::API.new(
host: "hostname.of.bigip",
username: "username",
password: "password",
)
response = api.LocalLB.Pool.get_listSee specs subdir for more examples, especially as it pertains to passing parameters.
This gem uses the Savon client to wrap the SOAP endpoints,
and it is sometimes useful to be able to see the SOAP request and response XML.
You can pass in a few options during configuration of the api client
which are forwarded to the internal Savon client:
api = F5::Icontrol::API.new(
host: "hostname.of.bigip",
username: "username",
password: "password",
# Savon logging options
enable_logging: true, # defaults to: false
log_level: :debug, # defaults to: debug
pretty_print_xml: true, # defaults to: true
)There's a command line version that's still being roughed out. You'll need a ~/.f5.yml file containing your login information:
default:
host: foo.bar.com
username: admin
password: abc123
lb2:
host: 1.2.3.4
username: admin
password: abc123
Then run f5 and it'll provide help
