Does A10 have F5 BIG-IP icall scripts or Linux cronjobs like feature?
Maybe there is API alternative ?
A10 does not have an equivalent feature to F5’s iCall. That being said, A10 does have several customers that have set up an external “Event Trigger” program that watches the syslog coming from an A10 device to check for specific log lines and execute a script when seen.
I have a similar Event Trigger program that watches for HTTP errors in the syslog placed there by an aFleX script and sends out an alert message. You can find the code here: GitHub - jdallen-a10/a10-http-error-monitor: Watch for HTTP access errors from an SLB configured on an A10 Thunder and send out an Alert via MQTT · GitHub as an example.
While A10 doesn’t offer a direct equivalent to F5’s iCall, using an external event-triggering process is a practical alternative. Monitoring the A10 syslog for specific events and executing scripts based on matching log entries provides similar automation capabilities for many use cases.
The example that watches for HTTP errors generated by an aFleX script and sends alerts demonstrates a flexible approach. Depending on your requirements, the same concept could be extended to automate notifications, configuration changes, or integrations with external monitoring and incident management systems.
