Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are identified. First clarify whether this belongs in AST or a standalone tool, then define the supported BIG-IP configuration objects, search behavior, and expected dashboard output before estimating implementation work.

Description

Hello team,

I understand that AST is primarily telemetry-focused, which is great. However, I believe it would be even more valuable if it included a configuration explorer — a dashboard with a search box where we can input a string or IP address and get a list of all matching virtual servers, along with their full configuration: associated pool (and pool members), profiles (with theirs configurations), policies, iRules, and so on.

Is this type of feature planned for future integration into AST? Or would you recommend building it as a standalone tool alongside AST?
Many thanks,
Karim
