Hi Carl,
Bingo on the need for automation. We are looking for automated re-import capability on BIG-IQ version 5.x, so I was happy to see these scripts. Overall the bulk discovery script seems to work well, but the bulk re-import (the one I really need) has a couple of issues I'm trying to work through.
-
Wrong BIG-IP instance is re-imported --
When my BIG-IQ contains several BIG-IP instances, and I want to re-import one of those instances only, I edit the CSV file to contain info for that instance. But when I execute the script, the first BIG-IP instance in the list is re-imported, not the BIG-IP instance I entered into the CSV file.
- I want to take advantage of the re-import as a periodic sync mechanism between BIG-IP instances and BIG-IQ. But when I change a rule on the target BIG-IP that is first in the list (I have to use the first because of the problem in 1) and execute the re-import, it doesn't identify the difference between BIG-IP and BIG-IQ. The log says 0 conflicts. However if I use the bulk discovery script to discover this BIG-IP from scratch, I do see the conflict that I generated for this test purpose identified in the bulk discover script's log.
Any assistance would be much appreciated. Thanks!
