This Python script connects to each F5 BIG-IP devices in your inventory via REST API and collects some information ie. version, platform, serial number, base mac address. The script will export the collected information to a json file.
The F5 BIG-IP credential information are in the inventory.json file as below format.
{
"bigip1": {
"inventory_network_os": "f5.bigip",
"inventory_network_location": "Home",
"inventory_host": "192.168.1.245",
"inventory_user": "admin",
"inventory_pass": "password",
"inventory_cli_port": "22",
"inventory_rest_port": "443"
},
"bigip2": {
"inventory_network_os": "f5.bigip",
"inventory_network_location": "Home",
"inventory_host": "192.168.1.246",
"inventory_user": "admin",
"inventory_pass": "password",
"inventory_cli_port": "22",
"inventory_rest_port": "443"
},
"bigip11": {
"inventory_network_os": "f5.bigip",
"inventory_network_location": "Home",
"inventory_host": "192.168.1.231",
"inventory_user": "admin",
"inventory_pass": "password",
"inventory_cli_port": "22",
"inventory_rest_port": "443"
}
}python f5-get_inventory.py- f5-get_inventory.py >> This script file
- inventory.json >> F5 BIG-IP information ie management ip, username, password, location etc.
- f5-get_inventory-export-datetimenow.json >> Output file format
the output file name format will be f5-get_inventory-export-datetimenow.json
When we run the script, bigip7 and bigip9 was unreachable. So that the information is missing for these unreachable devices in the output json file.
