Resource

kind: state

A resource is a fully configurable object for which the CURDLE methods are supported.

• create()
• refresh()
• update()
• delete()
• load()
• exists()

In the F5® SDK, a resource is instantiated via its collection. Once created or loaded, resources contain attributes that map to the JSON fields returned by the BIG-IP®.

Example: Load a f5.bigip.tm.ltm.node.Node Resource object.

>>> from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
>>> mgmt = ManagementRoot('192.168.1.1', 'myuser', 'mypass')
>>> n = mgmt.tm.ltm.nodes.node.load(partition='Common', name='192.168.15.15')
>>> print n.raw
{
  "kind":"tm:ltm:node:nodestate",
  "name":"192.168.15.15",
  "partition":"Common",
  "fullPath":"/Common/192.168.15.15",
  "generation":16684,
  "selfLink":"https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/~Common~192.168.15.15?ver=11.6.0",
  "address":"192.168.15.15",
  "connectionLimit":0,
  "dynamicRatio":1,
  "ephemeral":"false",
  "fqdn":{
    "addressFamily":"ipv4",
    "autopopulate":"disabled",
    "downInterval":5,
    "interval":3600
  },
  "logging":"disabled",
  "monitor":"default",
  "rateLimit":"disabled",
  "ratio":1,
  "session":"user-enabled",
  "state":"unchecked"
}

The output of the f5.bigip.tm.ltm.node.Node.raw (above) shows all of the available attributes.

Once you have loaded the object, you can access the attributes as shown below.

>>> n.fqdn['downInterval'] = 10
>>> n.logging = 'enabled'
>>> n.update()
