APM → Delete Access Policy

AI-generated

Summary

Permanently deletes an APM access policy on the F5 BIG-IP by sending a DELETE request to /apm/policies/{policyId} through the iControl REST API.

Inputs

  • Policy ID (required) — ID or name of the APM access policy to delete. It is inserted into the request URL path.
  • Request Options — Optional node settings: Batching (items per batch, default 50, and interval between batches, default 1000 ms), Ignore SSL Issues, Proxy URL, and Timeout in ms (default 10000).

Output shape

One item per input item, containing the parsed JSON response from the BIG-IP DELETE call.

The source doesn't define a custom response mapping. The body is whatever BIG-IP returns, and a successful delete may return an empty or minimal body. Errors from the API fail the node unless Continue On Fail is set. The request goes to the host set in the bigIpF5Api credential. The URL path is /apm/policies/... as declared, with no /mgmt/tm prefix.

Examples

Example 1: Remove an obsolete APM access policy by name during cleanup.

Resource: APM; Operation: Delete Access Policy; Policy ID: my_access_policy

Example 2: Delete several policies from a list of incoming items without overloading the device.

Policy ID: {{ $json.policyId }}; Request Options > Batching: 10 items per batch, 2000 ms interval
