Enterprise Manager VS Big IQ
I used to be under the assumption that BigIQ was replacing Enterprise Manager, but I am not sure that is the case. What is the the real differences between the products because they seem to have overlapping feature sets and I am not sure why one customer would pick one appliance over the other. I see that there are different options (or maybe modules) for BigIQ, but I have no idea what its purpose is in relation the EM.
iHealth API returns 404 for BigIP calls
I can access anything else in the iHealthAPI except for the BigIP information. Every calls returns a 404... Including the same calls they are using in here - I am trying to grab the hostname out of the system information. Also, the hostname does show up in the QKView on iHealth. urls tried: 'https://ihealth-api.f5.com/qkview-analyzer/api/qkviews/{}/bigip' 'https://ihealth-api.f5.com/qkview-analyzer/api/qkviews/{}/bigip/system' 'https://ihealth-api.f5.com/qkview-analyzer/api/qkviews/{}/bigip/serial_numbers/chassis/' 'https://ihealth-api.f5.com/qkview-analyzer/api/qkviews/{}/bigip/serial_numbers/' With the {} replaced with the qkview ID. Can someone else check to see if it works? Thank you!
irule http to https redirect with a little nuance
Hi Everyone, I was hoping for a hand, I'm working on a irule that says: if you reach http://sysdev redirect to https://sysdev.x.com/login.aspx otherwise, if someone has a bookmark to http://sysdev/form1.aspx redirect to https://sysdev.x.com/form1.aspx So this is what I have: when HTTP_REQUEST { if { [HTTP::uri] == "/" } { HTTP::redirect https://sysdev.x.com/login.aspx } else { HTTP::redirect https://sysdev.x.com[HTTP::uri] } } Would this work? I cant find much documentation on 'else' only on 'elseif' - any help would be appreciated.
iHealth Upgrade Advisor: Making upgrades a little easier
Whether it is upgrading the firmware on a switch, the OS on a server, an important business application or the software on a BIG-IP, performing upgrades is something that makes almost all IT Admins and Network Engineers nervous. We’ve learned from (sometimes painful) experience that things don’t always go as planned. Good preparation greatly increases the likelihood that an upgrade will be successful, which is why F5 has created the iHealth Upgrade Advisor. Its goal is to provide an additional service from F5 that will complement your existing upgrade preparations, increasing the predictability of the upgrade while reducing your upgrade time. The iHealth Upgrade Advisor service provides a way for users to gain insight into potential issues with a BIG-IP upgrade before they attempt the upgrade. It provides guidance that is specific to a BIG-IP based on its configuration, the version of software it is currently running and the version you are planning to upgrade to. When an issue can be avoided by making a configuration change prior to upgrading, the Upgrade Advisor will tell you exactly what to change. For some issues, it will list the corrective actions to take after the upgrade. Demo Video This short video demonstrating the Upgrade Advisor shows you how to use it and some examples of the guidance it provides. Accessing the Upgrade Advisor The next time you are preparing to upgrade a BIG-IP, login to ihealth.f5.com, upload a .qkview file from that BIG-IP and then view the qkview after iHealth has analyzed it. The Upgrade Advisor can be accessed by clicking on its tab in the left-hand menu. Simply select the version of BIG-IP you are planning to upgrade to in the advisor and review the results. Here is a screenshot of the Upgrade Advisor: Give it a Try Try out the F5 upgrade Advisor today and let us know what you think using the feedback option (circled in red on the right side of the screenshot above).
Upload QKviews to Internet via PROXY
Hello, I am trying to use the new function in V13 on F5 to upload the qkviews to ihealth. As we use a proxy for internet access I set it up with the: tmsh modify /sys db proxy.host value 10.x.xx.xxx modify /sys db proxy.port value 80 modify /sys db proxy.protocol value http We do not use authentication from this host. So user & password were not set. We tried access with a curl on the CLI to www.google.com and it worked fine. We get the following errors on the GUI qkview: Your device may not have access to the Internet. Verify that you can access api.f5.com and ihealth-api.f5.com and try your upload again. I do not see any traffic on a capture of this. Am i mssing something ? Thx in advance, LucF5 BIG_IP 3900 (C106) - Software Upgrade Advisor not working
