API or SNMP equivilant of the BigPipe command '[b]CONN[/b]'

I am your basic sys admin and I am trying to create a small script for Help Desk to use to ID who is connected to what via BIG-IP. I have found that the BIGPIPE command CONN displays all the IP mappings. How can I access this remotely like from a VBscript running on a windows box?

 

 

I tried the SNMP MIB, but could not locate a similar value. Is there an API in iCOntroll that will get me this informataion?

 

 

thanks

    You are looking for the methods in the ITCMLocalLB::Connections interface. That interface gives you access to the connections table that is retrieved with the bigpipe conn command.

     

     

    Be warned that, with high bandwidth (lots of connections) sites, this interface can and will cause a strain on the BIG-IP due to the massive amounts of data that can be retrieved. We have had customers report problems when trying to use this method with > 2500 active connections.

     

     

    We are working on optimizing this interface for the next version of the product so that it is more easily segmented.
