ASM → Publish Policy

AI-generated

Summary

Publishes a BIG-IP ASM (WAF) policy by name, sending a POST to /mgmt/tm/asm/policy with command "publish" so pending changes become active.

Inputs

  • Policy Name (required) — Name of the ASM policy to publish (e.g. testpolicy). Sent in the request body as name, alongside the fixed command: publish.
  • Request Options — Optional node settings: batching (items per batch, interval in ms), ignore SSL issues, HTTP proxy URL, and timeout in ms (default 10000).

Output shape

The JSON response from the BIG-IP iControl REST endpoint for the publish request, one result per input item.

The response structure is not defined by the node; it is whatever BIG-IP returns. Connection host and SSL behavior come from the bigIpF5Api credentials. The operation is declarative, so the HTTP request is the only side effect.

Examples

Example 1: Activate pending WAF changes after editing a policy in an earlier step.

Resource: ASM; Operation: Publish Policy; Policy Name: testpolicy

Example 2: Publish a policy whose name comes from an upstream node.

Policy Name set to the expression {{ $json.policyName }}; optionally raise Timeout under Request Options.
