Using a Magic Variable within a Workflow

This section describes the steps to define a hook as a magic variable and use it in the Form task.
  1. Design a workflow.
  2. In the design workspace, from the menu on the left, navigate to Application Delivery > F5 BIG-IP CLI > LTM > Create.
  3. From the Create folder, drag and drop the Create LTM Monitor TCP task.
  4. In the Create LTM Monitor TCP task window, select the Edit mode checkbox to see information on the variables used in this task.
  5. To see the magic variable used in this task, in the Create LTM Monitor TCP task window, click Variables.
    The magic variable (~get_managed_f5_ltm_devices~) retrieves the list of all managed F5 LTM devices.
  6. Auto-generate a self-service form for this workflow.
  7. Connect the workflow tasks and click Preview.
    The magic variable auto-populates the F5 Device Name form field.
