Netscaler CLI

This is a simple command line interface for accessing a Netscaler load balancer. It is currently alpha software, so use with caution.

Installing

The command line tools can be installed with:

gem install netscaler-api

The following commands are currently a part of the system:

netscaler-vserver -- An interface for enabling, disabling, and binding responder policies to a specific virtual server.
netscaler-service -- An interface for enabling, disabling, and binding virtual servers to specific service.

All of the commands rely upon a configuration file in the YAML format. By default, it looks for a file in your home directory

~/.netscape-cli.yml

Each load balancer requires an entry in the file in the form:

netscaler.loadbalancer.somecompany.com
   username: 'some.username'
   password: 'super!duper!secret!'

Multiple entries can be in the file; the password setting is not required. If it is not given in the file, the tool will ask you for it.
