NQE Query to get SSL profiles from Custom Commands on F5

I am trying to create a NQE query for all the F5 devices. The query searches for SSL profile on custom command. 

Custom Command is : 
show ltm virtual detail recursive | grep -E "Ltm::ClientSSL Profile:" -E "Virtual Server:"

The NQE should return SSL Profiles and the VIPs associated with them.

Hey Shivang, 

the structure to access custom command is this: 

foreach d in network.devices

foreach c in d.output.commands

where c.commandText == "abc"

select {

name:d.name,

command:c.commandText,

response:c.response

}

 

However I see that your custom commands contains “” as in grep -E "Ltm::ClientSSL Profile:" -E "Virtual Server:"

This imposes a challenge during filtering of the commandText. My suggestion is to use a matches() function and globs to selectively filter for the custom command. Example: 

foreach d in network.devices

foreach c in d.output.commands

where matches(c.commandText, "*Ltm::ClientSSL Profile:*Virtual Server*")

select {

name:d.name,

command:c.commandText,

response:c.response

}

 

 

give it a try and let me know!

Hey Jack, Thanks for sharing this the above mentioned query has already been tried and unfortunately it doesnt work at all ( Says to comment down the Where statement ) 

Also on a side note it should be outputs.commands ( For whoever is referring to this thread for their problems )

Hi Shivang, 

 

I see there is an issue with the double quote formatting. This should work for you. Make sure you are selecting the snapshot and network that has the custom command running. 

 

Regards,

Jack 

 

foreach d in network.devices
foreach c in d.outputs.commands
where isPresent(c.commandText)
where matches(c.commandText, "*Ltm::ClientSSL Profile:*Virtual Server*")
select { name: d.name, command: c.commandText, response: c.response }

This is a query I worked on with a customer for doing this for F5 devices.  We made it an export.  Also have a module like this for Netscaler. Then created another query where we put it all together.

See if this can give you inspiration.

@jack.shen : This does work, Thank you so very much. We tried the exact same query before but made a very minute mistake. 

Appreciate the help
