bigip_configsync_action – Perform different actions related to config-sync

New in version 1.0.0.

Synopsis

• Allows running different config-sync actions. These actions allow you to manually sync your configuration across multiple BIG-IPs when those devices are in an HA pair.

Parameters

Parameter	Choices/Defaults	Configuration	Comments
device_group string / required			The device group on which you want to perform config-sync actions.
overwrite_config boolean	Choices: no ← yes		Indicates the sync operation overwrites the configuration on the target.
sync_device_to_group boolean	Choices: no yes		Specifies the system synchronizes configuration data from this device to other members of the device group. In this case, the device will do a "push" to all the other devices in the group. This option is mutually exclusive with the sync_group_to_device option.
sync_group_to_device boolean	Choices: no yes		Specifies the system synchronizes configuration data from the device with the most recent configuration. In this case, the device will do a "pull" from the most recently updated device. This option is mutually exclusive with the sync_device_to_group options.

Notes

Note

• Requires the objectpath Python package on the host. This is as easy as running pip install objectpath.
