class f5.bigip.cm.Cm(bigip)[source]

Bases: f5.bigip.resource.OrganizingCollection

An organizing collection for CM resources.

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.

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

All the key-values needed to create the resource.

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

Returns:
Resource: A python object that represents the object’s configuration
and state on the BIG-IP®.
update(**kwargs)[source]

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

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

Uses HTTP DELETE to delete the resource on the BIG-IP®.

After this method is called, and status_code 200 response is received instance.__dict__ is replace with {'deleted': True}

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

The only current use is to pass kwargs to the requests API.

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

Use the method above to pass query args.

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.

Resource: A Resource Instance with a populated _meta_data['uri']

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.
