Getting Pool and Pool members from device.outputs.commands

Question

Under the command type F5_LTM_POOL_STATE for F5 devices, the pool and pool members are in the following format:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ltm::Pool: XXX                           
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Status                                                   
  Availability           : XXX                       
  State                  : XXX                                                

...

  --------------------------------------------------------------
  | Ltm::Pool Member: XXX    
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  | Status                                 
  |   Availability   : XXX             
  |   State          : XXX             

...

  --------------------------------------------------------------
  | Ltm::Pool Member: XXX    
  --------------------------------------------------------------
  | Status                                 
  |   Availability   : XXX             
  |   State          : XXX

I am trying to match the pattern to get the pool name and the members under that pool name. I am a little confused as there are multiple pool members under a single pool. Any help is appreciated!

@pjptsujitThis can be a little tricky because of the non alphanumeric characters. One thing to keep in mind is the hierarchy as the parser we use is highly sensitive to indentation./** * @intent Parse out F5 Pools and Members * @description Report on all F5 Pools and their members */pattern = ```Ltm::Pool: {pool: string}Connection Queue   Average queue entry age (ms)      Ltm::Pool Member: {poolmember: string}```;// This is used to clean some of the characters so we can parse effectivelycleanMembers(config) = replace(cleanCharacters(config), "|", "");cleanCharacters(config) = replace(config, "-", "");foreach device in network.deviceswhere device.platform.vendor == Vendor.F5let outputs = device.outputsforeach command in outputs.commandswhere command.commandType == CommandType.F5_LTM_POOL_STATElet modified = cleanMembers(command.response)let configlines = parseConfigBlocks(OS.UNKNOWN, modified)let matches = blockMatches(configlines, pattern)foreach match in matchesselect {deviceName: device.name, Pool: match.data.pool, PoolMember: match.data.poolmember}Depending on how you want the report, you can clean up the IP strings onthe pool members or group these differently.
