create(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:

InvalidResource: If method is used.

delete(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:

InvalidResource: If method is used.

get_collection(**kwargs)

Call to obtain a list of the reference dicts in the instance items

Returns:

list: List of self.items

modify(**patch)

Modify the configuration of the resource on device based on patch

raw

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

Returns:A dictionary of attributes and their values

refresh(**kwargs)

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Args:

kwargs (dict): Arbitrary number of keyword arguments.

Keys and associated values to alter on the device.

If kwargs has a requests_params key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API.

get_collection(**kwargs)

Get an iterator of Python Resource objects that represent URIs.

The returned objects are Pythonic Resource`s that map to the most recently `refreshed state of uris-resources published by the device. In order to instantiate the correct types, the concrete subclass must populate its registry with acceptable types, based on the kind field returned by the REST server.

Note

This method implies a single REST transaction with the Collection subclass URI.

Raises:UnregisteredKind Returns:list of reference dicts and Python Resource objects

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Args:

kwargs (dict): Arbitrary number of keyword arguments.

Keys and associated values to alter on the device.

If kwargs has a requests_params key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API.

One can not simply delete a collection.

This is to support odata usage via the options request parameter:

requests_params={'params': 'options=glob_pattern'}

where glob_pattern can be used to delete one or all of a particular collection. Not submitting the requests params will fail, and specifying patterns that match default resources will fail as well.

refresh(**kwargs)

Use this to make the device resource be represented by self.

This method makes an HTTP GET query against the device service. This method is run for its side-effects on self. If successful the instance attribute __dict__ is replaced with the dict representing the device state. To figure out what that state is, run a subsequest query of the object like this: As with all CURDLE methods use a “requests_params” dict to pass parameters to requests.session.HTTPMETHOD. See test_requests_params.py for an example. >>> resource_obj.refresh() >>> print(resource_obj.raw)

update(**kwargs)

Update the configuration of the resource on the BIG-IP®.

This method uses HTTP PUT alter the resource state on the BIG-IP®.

The attributes of the instance will be packaged as a dictionary. That dictionary will be updated with kwargs. It is then submitted as JSON to the device.

Various edge cases are handled: * read-only attributes that are unchangeable are removed

Args:

kwargs (dict): Arbitrary number of keyword arguments.

Keys and associated values to alter on the device.

If kwargs has a requests_params key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.put method where it will be handled according to that API.

BIG-IP® Protocol Inspection Signature collection

create(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:

InvalidResource: If method is used.

delete(**kwargs)

Implement this by overriding it in a subclass of Resource

Raises:

InvalidResource: If method is used.

delete_collection(**kwargs)

One can not simply delete a collection.

This is to support odata usage via the options request parameter:

requests_params={'params': 'options=glob_pattern'}

where glob_pattern can be used to delete one or all of a particular collection. Not submitting the requests params will fail, and specifying patterns that match default resources will fail as well.

get_collection(**kwargs)

Get an iterator of Python Resource objects that represent URIs.

The returned objects are Pythonic Resource`s that map to the most recently `refreshed state of uris-resources published by the device. In order to instantiate the correct types, the concrete subclass must populate its registry with acceptable types, based on the kind field returned by the REST server.

Note

This method implies a single REST transaction with the Collection subclass URI.

Raises:UnregisteredKind Returns:list of reference dicts and Python Resource objects

modify(**patch)

Modify the configuration of the resource on device based on patch

raw

Display the attributes that the current object has and their values.

exists(**kwargs)

Check for the existence of the named object on the BIG-IP

Sends an HTTP GET to the URI of the named object and if it fails with a :exc:~requests.HTTPError` exception it checks the exception for status code of 404 and returns False in that case.

If the GET is successful it returns True.

For any other errors are raised as-is.

Args:

**kwargs (dict): Arbitrary number of keyword arguments.

If kwargs has a requests_params key the corresponding dict will be passed to the underlying requests.session.get method where it will be handled according to that API.
