Use iControl API to query for node list for IP verification and hostname resolve.
I would like to write a script using python that will pull a node list from F5 of node names ONLY included in all partitions. The output could be a text file with the list or my script will parse the names that would be processed reachability and name resolution. Could someone point me in the right direction as far as where to start?
Currently I log into the F5 gui and navigate to the "Nodes:Nodes List", display all nodes, then select all the content, copy and paste it into an excel spreadsheet. From there I select the node names which are IP's, paste them into a txt file, then process the list via a powershell script that pings the IP and resolves for hostname.
I would just like to stream line the process of fetching the node names.
Let me know if you need any more detail.
Thanks
