raxmon equivalent for load balancer ssl termination on rackspace?

Question

Looking into RackSpace SSL termination and realizing the API to configure SSL termination is extremely bare.

Before I get started writing a client, does anyone know if there is something out there already? Similar to raxmon for the Monitoring?

writing the client now... – quickshiftin Sep 16 '12 at 01:27 — quickshiftin, Sep 16 '12 at 01:27

If you are using Python, you can use pyrax, the Rackspace Python language bindings, which abstracts the API commands necessary to enable SSL offloading on a Cloud Loadbalancer. There is a sample script provided here that you can use as a template.

Alternatively, the Rackspace Control Panel allows you to enable SSL offloading via the UI.

Thanks for this. We're using PHP, but did find the UI controls sometime after starting on our own implementation. Frankly we've found the load balancers to be a weak spot in terms of options and the API a bit lacking, but still liking Rackspace on the whole. Thanks for your answer! – quickshiftin Apr 03 '13 at 19:40
