Bug ID 650074: Changed Format of RAM Cache REST Status output.

Last Modified: Sep 13, 2023

Affected Product(s):
BIG-IP LTM(all modules)

Known Affected Versions:
12.1.2

Fixed In:
13.1.0, 12.1.3

Opened: Mar 09, 2017

Severity: 3-Major

Symptoms

The REST API returned cache contents in displayable form, not tagged field form.

Impact

Text must be parsed as if the caller plans to post-process it.

Conditions

Using REST API.

Workaround

To present the data in some other format, the text can be displayed as is, but must be parsed as if the caller plans to post-process it.

Fix Information

Now RAM Cache REST Status output is returned in field format, and must be parsed by a JSON parser and formatted for display. If you were using the previous format, you must now parse the JSON and re-format the data for display.

Behavior Change

REST API calls for ramcache stats now returns data as formatted JSON.
