F5REST pattern does not populate ip_address, blocking the Connections connection section of the F5 BigIP LTM pattern - Known Error

F5REST pattern does not populate ip_address, blocking the Connections connection section of the F5 BigIP LTM pattern Description "F5 BigIP LTM" application pattern, "Connections" section, "get irule for VIP" step is using $computer_system.managementIP, however ip_address is not populated on cmdb_ci_lb_bigip by horizontal discovery via pattern F5REST.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Discover a F5 LB with the F5REST pattern.

2. Open the discovered CI, observe the ip_address field is empty.

3. Run top-down discovery on the CI and observe the "get irule for VIP" step in the Connections connection section has no IP:

setAttribute(url,https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/~Common~example?$select=rules)

Workaround Add a new field to the "Update BigIP table" step on in the F5REST pattern:

Target field name: ip_address

Value: $computer_system.managementIP
