WAPI VERSION 2.1 OR HIGHER REQUIRED
Based on a customer request, I created this WAPI request which will likely be useful in the future.
This call uses the WAPI "Request" object to go through the full process of creating two DTC servers, creating a DTC Pool, one for each server, then a topology rule, one for each Pool, then finally an LBDN with all the elements previously creted:
EDIT: The rules for the topology ruleset are not in variables, but it's very likely possible to do so. I'll add a version with variable rules if I see enough interest in this, for now it should be enough to remember where they add and edit them appropriately.
Method: POST

OK, here is the request body, with the topology rules now as variables and at the top (I'm not sure why I couldn't get them to work originally, goes to show what a good night's sleep does!)

Final Edit: I added the LBDN patterns as variables at the top, and added an ICMP monitor to the pools as an example.

Here is also the DELETE script, with a small tweak in the order of deletion (delete all servers first, then all pools) just to make it easier to re-use the calls.

Hi,
In the presentation yesterday (How to Leverage APIs to Automate and Optimize Infoblox DTC) i was told you don't use the PUT option.
How can i modify all records (DTC
ool) with a specific comment and add a health check?
So i need to do a GET to store the pool names and then modify the health checks (monitors).
Regards,
Dwight Goossens

Hey Dwight,
We meant in this particular demo we weren't using PUT. The REST API does support put, post, and get.
There's info on our API at https://www.infoblox.com/wp-content/uploads/infoblox-deployment-infoblox-rest-api.pdf.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
Thanks!
