Deploying the iApp with the SSL certificate field populated but the key field blank results in the iApp deploying without the client-ssl profile created, but it does not throw an error. I feel like filling in one field but not both should cause an exception. It seems like the right thing here is to only go forward if both are filled out or if none are filled out.

Steps to reproduce:
Create a new iApp
Fill in certificate field, leaving key field blank.
Deploy iApp

Can we change the Key Name "Destination Address" and "Destination Mask" to "VIP Address" or "Virtual Server Address." Also change "Service Port" to "VIP Port" or "Virtual Server Port" to distinguish it from the Port of a Pool Member.

It would be handy if possible to have support to provide an optional hostname for the pool members. I believe this would require the creation or presence of the node already.

This would be separate from an ephemeral hostname.

Hi, I'd like to know if its possible to have the route domain filled in automagically if the target system has a partition default route domain AND no route domain was specified during deployment. In BIG-IP mode at least, if one is not specified now, it will fall back into RD 0 even if there is a partition default.

I generated an iApp v0.3__006 and i saw the following into BIG-IP:

i have two fields in the advanced properties Virtual Server: Name. One is definitely the pool name (default value is my_pool) and the other one is likely to be the VS name: (default value is my_virtualserver).

in the text section of the app i generated i have a line which is:
pool.Name "Virtual Server: Name" // i believe it should be pool.name "Pool: Name"

Sending 'send=GET /check?op=ping HTTP/1.0\r\n' for monitor AdvOption string results in incorrect config being deployed. The second '=' is not escaped properly.

Changing the state of disabled generates an error of "Invalid monitor rule instance Identifier".

Could we add a parenthetical comment after "Load Balancing Method" to list the values that can be used here. this Key name looks to be word-wrap enabled, but I'm not certain how many characters long it can be.

something like:

"Load Balancing Method (dynamic-ratio-node, fastest-app-response, fastest-node, least-connections-member, least-connections-node, least-sessions, observed-member, observed-node, predictive-member, predictive-node, round-robin, ratio-member, ratio-node, ratio-session, ratio-least-connections-member, ratio-least-connections-node, weighted-least-connections-member)"

Some of these may not be appropriate to add to the list, but we boast 17 LB methods as a differentiator.

i tried to run ./build.sh from a BIG-IP running 11.6 HF5. Python is installed as mentioned

python -V

Python 2.4.3

I used another system to do it
nicolas@Kayndar:~/appsvcs_integration_iapp-develop$ python -V
Python 2.7.5+

Would be good to mention which python version is required

thanks! Keep up the good work :)

We can't add a full address in the pool address field.

It would be useful for the iApp to support a few modes for the Server Agent Name in the HTTP profile.

auto - leave at default/inherit
disabled - set field to "none"
user-specified - permit user to specify the value

An alternative is to just specify it using the create: syntax, as: create:server-agent-name=none

Am attempting to deploy an iApp using a customer build of the appsvcs template v2.0_001. The only inclusion are 3 iRules that we use on a consistent basis. 2 of these iRules are extremely simple but when you try to use them via the vs__BundledItems table we receive this error:

Error reported by BigIP: {"code":400,"message":"script did not successfully complete: (can't parse TCL script beginning with\nwhen HTTP_REQUEST {\n if { [HTTP::uri] contains "debug=" } {\n HTTP::res\n\n while executing\n"tmsh::create $bundled_irule_cmd"\n ("foreach" body line 44)\n invoked from within\n"foreach bundled_irule $bundled_irules {\n debug [list virtual_server bundled_irule create_irule] [format "deploying bundled iRule %s" $bundled_irule..."\n invoked from within\n"if { [llength $bundled_irules] > 0 } {\n set bundled_irule_map [list %APP_PATH% $app_path \\n %APP_NAME% $app \\n ..." line:2377)","errorStack":[]}
/Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/rest-client-2.0.0/lib/restclient/abstract_response.rb:223:in `exception_with_response': 400 Bad Request (RestClient::BadRequest)

The iRules code is as follows:

when HTTP_REQUEST {
  if {[HTTP::uri] contains "debug=" } {
    HTTP::respond 500 content { We are sorry, but the URL you requested is ILLEGAL.}

    log local0. "Request from [IP::client_addr] for [HTTP::uri] has been rejected." 
  }
}

We have a much more complex and longer iRule that works just fine however. I've been unable to troubleshoot why this does not work. Any thoughts?

We used appsvcs_integration_v2.0-002_001.tmpl with BIG-IP 11.6.1, iWorkFlow 2.0.2 and APIC 2.1 (1h). We create service graph and enable 'Attachment Notificationand' enter a single pool member with ip address '0.0.0.0'. We plug node to APIC and APIC detect the node but not auto create pool member on BIG-IP (dynamic endpoint)

Hello,

Since OPTIONS.md is actually HTML in content, could we change the file extension to HTML to match? The file association currently causes it to load in my text editor.

Thanks.

On BIg-IQ, these few fields only display 16 characters Max (no word-wrap), and the 16th character is sometimes cut off, so limiting to 15 characters would be preferable

On BIG-IQ, create a catalog item from the f5.http iApp notice that the "Application Tiers" fields all have default values and the twisty is closed. Can you do the same here with the appsvcs iApp?

I had to open the twisty to see these fields. Doing this would greatly simplify the user experience.

The Key name that is used by NSX seems to be different than the Key name presented to BIG-IQ GUI, NSX seems to be using the Variable names, so they need to be as descriptive as possible in say 50 characters or less.

BIG-IQ currently has a dependency that requires the VS Address and Port fields use the var name pool__addr and pool__port. This causes a number of usability issues since these var names are not really correct.

Pools do not have address or ports assigned to them, that's pool members. This leads to confusion northbound due to naming.

I'm working with the BIG-IQ team now to get this fixed. For now we have to leave things this way so stats and other things don't break. As soon as we have a fix/workaround the template will be updated to use better var names. The APL code for this is already present, just needs to be uncommented. The implementation code updates are a simple search and replace.

When deploying the iApp into a partition and referencing a URL in the SSL certificate & key section, the iApp fails with error "010716c8:3: Application service cannot own Certificate File in a different partition."

I see the following output in /var/tmp/scriptd.out which implies the certificate is loaded into /Common, instead of the correct partition.

e.g.
[01/31/17 13:56:48][][load_crypto_object] obj_name=/Common/.key file_name=/var/tmp/.key

Hello,

It would be nice if the iApp could be extended to support Local Traffic Policies. At a basic level it would allow for the entry of a policy name during execution, similarly to how iRules are assigned.

Thanks.
