Summary

Lists all software installation images available on the BIG-IP by sending a GET request to /mgmt/tm/sys/software/image via iControl REST.

Inputs

  • Request Options — Optional collection of request settings. Batching: Items per Batch (default 50, -1 disables) and Batch Interval in ms (default 1000). Ignore SSL Issues (accept responses despite certificate validation failures). Proxy: HTTP proxy URL, optionally with username:password. Timeout: ms to wait for response headers (default 10000).

Output shape

The JSON response from the BIG-IP software image collection endpoint, returned as the node's output item(s).

The exact fields depend on the BIG-IP; the node doesn't transform the response. Host and SSL behaviour come from the bigIpF5Api credential. No operation-specific parameters are needed.

Examples

Example 1: Check which software images are on a BIG-IP before planning an upgrade.

Resource: System, Operation: Get Software Images; no extra options, using the bigIpF5Api credential.

Example 2: Query a BIG-IP with a self-signed certificate behind a proxy.

Resource: System, Operation: Get Software Images; in Request Options enable Ignore SSL Issues, set Proxy to http://myproxy:3128, and raise Timeout to 30000.
