Summary

Saves the BIG-IP's running configuration to disk by sending a POST to /mgmt/tm/sys/config with body {"command":"save"} (the equivalent of tmsh "save sys config").

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 even when certificate validation fails. Proxy: HTTP proxy URL, optionally with credentials. Timeout: ms to wait for response headers (default 10000).

Output shape

The JSON response from the BIG-IP iControl REST endpoint for the save command, returned as output item(s) for each input item.

The operation has no operation-specific parameters, so the request is the same for every input item. The node uses the bigIpF5Api credential for the host and SSL settings. The response shape comes from the device and isn't defined in the node source.

Examples

Example 1: Persist changes after updating an LTM pool so they survive a reboot.

Resource: System, Operation: Save Configuration, placed after the Update Pool node. No other parameters.

Example 2: Save config on a slow or proxied device.

Add Request Options: Timeout 30000 and Proxy http://myproxy:3128.
