Hi, I have taken your advice and have started to work with Python for this, I have managed to do what I want with Python. Thanks for all the help with this. Cheers, Darren

Got it to work, here my script for adding nodes using Python #!/usr/bin/python import requests import json import sys pool_name = sys.argv[1] add_node = unicode(sys.argv[2]) url = ' https:// <uri>:9070/api/tm/1.0/config/active/pools/' + pool_name jsontype = {'content-type': 'application/json'} client = requests.Session() client.auth = ('<username>', <password>') client.verify = 0 response = client.get(url) pools = json.loads(response.content) nodes = pools['properties']['basic']['nodes'] data = nodes data.append(add_node) print client.put(url,json.dumps(pools), headers=jsontype) print nodes

I have updated my script, this all looks fine but I get a <Response [400]>. #!/usr/bin/python import requests import json import sys pool_name = sys.argv[1] #add_node = sys.argv[2] add_node = u'10.10.10.1:80' url = '<uri>' + pool_name jsontype = {'content-type': 'application/json'} client = requests.Session() client.auth = ('admin', 'admin') client.verify = 0 response = client.get(url) pools = json.loads(response.content) nodes = pools['properties']['basic']['nodes'] #updatepool['properties']['basic']['nodes'].append(add_node) data = nodes data.append(add_node) print client.put(url,json.dumps(data), headers=jsontype)

That is what I thought, what I am doing now is taking the output from curl and setting it as a variable <variablename>=$(curl -k --user <username:password> -X GET "Content-Type: application/json" https:// <uri>:9070/api/tm/1.0/config/active/pools/<name>) As with you example above where you are PUT to the correct key value e.g. -d'{"properties":{"basic":{"nodes":["127.0.0.1:8080","127.0.0.1:8081"]}}}' , can I do the same with the GET? All I am really after is the IP address of the nodes. From there I can append it with the new node I want and post it back. So I would build a script that would pull the data, store the node values I want, put a new IP address and port, append to the values I have sorted and the PUT it back. And thanks for all the help with this

Hi, I am trying to write a Python script that will source the IP address of a new machine and then add it as a node to a pool, I am really new to Python and still getting my head around it. So far this is what I have, at the moment I am just entering the IP address as a command line argument #!/usr/bin/python import requests import json import sys pool_name = sys.argv[1] add_node = sys.argv[2] url = ' https:// <URL>/' + pool_name jsontype = {'content-type': 'application/json'} client = requests.Session() client.auth = ('<username>', '<password>') client.verify = 0 response = client.get(url) pools = json.loads(response.content) nodes = pools['properties']['basic']['nodes'] pools['properties']['basic']['nodes'].append(add_node) client.put(url, <place I am stuck in>, headers = jsontype) As you can see I have got to the point where I have everything I want but am having trouble putting the updated array back to the REST API. If anyone can point me in the right direction that would be great. Thanks, Darren

Hi, Thanks for this, it is really helpful. On your point of if the pool exists could I do a GET, store that in a variable, append a new node IP and then POST it back? I have also being trying this with Python as I thought it might be easier, I am very new to Python so I might be bitting off more than I can do. I tend to write BASH scripts so that is why I was looking a CURL. Thanks, Darren

Hi, I have seen examples of using Perl or Python to work with the REST API, I understand the logic in the examples I have seen but I do not code in either of those languages. So what I would like to do is write a BASH script that I can pass parameters to, then get CURL to PUT the updates I want. The main part I am after is to be able to add nodes to a pool as I spin new machines up, I have read the REST API guild and I can see that it is possible. It shows examples of doing so using PERL, I have tried a few things to get this working with CURL but not having much luck. It what I want even possible? Thanks, Darren

Hi, I want to be able to write an AWS cloudformation script so that I can deploy a Stingray TrafficManager, we are in the process of building a new Production environment and we want to be able to automate the deployment. I would sooner not use the console at all and have everything configured up using Cloudformation and Metadata, ideally I would want to have 2 of them in my VPC and clustered across multiple availability zones. I would also what to setup the Virtual Servers and Pools as part of the Cloudformation script or get them connected to our Puppet Server and use the Puppet module to do this, in any case I want to try and automate the entire process. Any help with this would be great Thanks, Darren
