Summary

Sends a GET to /mgmt/tm/ltm on the BIG-IP and returns the list of available LTM sub-resource links (pools, virtuals, nodes, etc.) exposed by the iControl REST API.

Inputs

  • Request Options > Batching — Throttles requests when multiple input items are processed. Items per Batch (default 50; -1 disables, 0 treated as 1) and Batch Interval in ms (default 1000).
  • Request Options > Ignore SSL Issues (Insecure) — Accept the response even if the SSL certificate can't be validated. Defaults to false.
  • Request Options > Proxy — HTTP proxy URL, optionally with credentials, e.g. http://username:password@myproxy:3128.
  • Request Options > Timeout — Milliseconds to wait for response headers before aborting. Default 10000.

Output shape

The JSON response from GET /mgmt/tm/ltm, a collection of reference links to the LTM sub-collections available on the device.

No resource-specific parameters are needed. The host and authentication come from the bigIpF5Api credential. The source does not define response post-processing, so the output is whatever the BIG-IP returns.

Examples

Example 1: Find which LTM endpoints exist on a BIG-IP before building further requests.

Resource: LTM, Operation: Discover Resources, with the bigIpF5Api credential. No other settings.

Example 2: Query a BIG-IP with a self-signed certificate behind a slow management network.

Add Request Options: enable Ignore SSL Issues and set Timeout to 30000.
