Hi Dario

 

Thanks for the responses, but this will return device HA status not the virtual server (Availability). status..

The availability of a virtual server resides in the stats

from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
from f5.utils.responses.handlers import Stats
 
# ----------------------------------------------------------
 
session = ManagementRoot("F5_mgmt_IP","username","password",token=True)
 
virtual = session.tm.ltm.virtuals.virtual.load(name='testVS')
#https://<F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/testVS
virtualstats = Stats(virtual.stats.load())
#https://<F5_mgmt_IP>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/testVS/stats
for key, value in virtualstats.stat.items():
    if value.get('description') != None:
        print("{}: {}".format(key, value.get('description')))
    elif value.get('value') != None:
        print("{}: {}".format(key, value.get('value')))

KR,
