f5-awaf-export-policies
A small script to export all AWAF policies from a BIG-IP device.
This script leverages BIG-IP iControl REST API to export ALL AWAF policies in the system and saves them locally. The policies can be exported in the following formats: xml, plc and json.
Note: JSON format only works with TMOS version 16.x.
Tested with BIG-IP 16.1 but should work with older versions.
