Create / Modify the Internal Datagroup of type Internal fails using iControl REST cURL call

Hi Wackitron,

You can go through the REST Cookbooks to know when to use POST, PUT & PATCH. Also you should know, that DGL's do not have subcollections - anything that you do with the Datagroup records is like a whole replacement, so whenever you are planning to add an extra record, you should first collect all the existing ones and then add the new one along with it.

So to answer your question,

your 1st command with a POST is an add, for you to create a datagroup, you should use the below,

curl -k -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X POST -d '{"name": "TEST_iRule", "partition": "Common","type": "ip", "records": [{"name": "10.10.10.10/32", "data": ""}]}' https://10.20.30.40/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal jq

your 2nd command with a PUT was right, but as the error says, for record addition/modification one would not pass the type, as the DGL is already created as type IP, so you need not give that parameter again, without that it would succeed.

curl -k -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X PUT -d '{"records": [{"name": "10.10.10.10/32", "data": ""}]}' https://10.20.30.40/mgmt/tm/ltm/data-group/internal/~Common~TEST_iRule | jq
