@bpoland interestingly, I can see the data-group resource in the documentation: https://github.com/f5devcentral/terraform-provider-bigip/blob/master/website/docs/r/bigip_ltm_datagroup.html.markdown
But can't find the actual implementation 🤷♂️
@scshitole was this in fact implemented?
Thanks, didn't see that. But yes we would need it to be implemented :)
Also, it looks like you specify the records inline -- for my usage I think I would need to have a separate bigip_ltm_datagroup_record resource used to add/remove records from the data group list. Similar to what you did for the pool members a few weeks ago.
@bpoland @dannyk81 I had it implemented earlier there was some issue so taken out.
@bpoland Yeah, that would make more sense 👍
By the way, I'm curious - are you using the pool_attachment
resource? it works well in our tests, was just wondering if anyone else tried it.
I haven't had a chance to switch over to it yet, was kind of waiting for an official release of the provider. Does anyone know when that might happen?
@scshitole could you share the implementation? I would like to help get this done as we also need to manage some data group records for some dynamic iRules we are writing.
So, I've been looking into this today and have few insights:
1) Data-group records are not sub-collections, so in order to add/modify/remove any of them via the REST API you have to replace them all.
2) Given the above constraint, we can't delegate the records management to a separate resource and in fact this should be handled in-line within the datagroup resource itself. (/cc @bpoland - not sure what's your use case here, but looks like there's no way around this)
@scshitole it would help to avoid hitting the same issue, if you could share your experience from attempting to implement this?
That's too bad. I wonder why tmsh lets you add and remove individual records, but the REST API doesn't...
I guess I will have to continue using a provisioner then. Thanks for looking into it @dannyk81
@bpoland @dannyk81 to create Data group here is the Method and payload
I think we should be able to modify as well see below
Thanks @scshitole, I've made some progress and already have the create and destroy parts working including tests.
@bpoland I was mainly basing my analysis on this (https://devcentral.f5.com/questions/add-value-in-data-group-via-rest-api) as well as the fact that I couldn't find an API for just modifying/adding/removing a single record from a data group.
@scshitole am I missing something?
Hi there,
Just wondering if there are plans to add an iRule data group entry resource (e.g bigip_ltm_datagroup_record or something)? This could be used to add/remove records from a data group. And it might be nice to have a resource to create data groups as well (e.g. bigip_ltm_datagroup).
Right now I am using a provisioner which SSHes to the big-ip and runs tmsh but it would be great to have native support for this. Here's an example of the tmsh call I use:
tmsh modify ltm data-group internal /Partition/data_group_name records add { dgl_entry_name { data dgl_entry_value }}
tmsh modify ltm data-group internal /Partition/data_group_name records delete { dgl_entry_name }
Thanks!
