Example Usage

# NetworkFirewall Data Source Example

terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"

  required_providers {
    xcsh = {
      source  = "f5-sales-demo/xcsh"
      version = ">= 0.1.0"
    }
  }
}

# Look up an existing NetworkFirewall by name
data "xcsh_network_firewall" "example" {
  name      = "example-network-firewall"
  namespace = "system"
}

output "network_firewall_id" {
  value = data.xcsh_network_firewall.example.id
}

Argument Reference

-> Syntax Rule: This provider uses OneOf groups for mutually exclusive options. Fields documented as “Optional Block” use block syntax field_name { ... }. Empty OneOf object attributes use field_name = {}; conditional selection uses condition ? {} : null. Boolean attributes (such as add_hsts and http_redirect) use = true or = false.
