BigIP server connections?

Yes, there are methods that return statistics for every object type exposed by iControl. In v9.x, for example, please check out the following methods:

 

 

LocalLB

 

Pool::get_all_statistics

 

Pool::get_statistics

 

PoolMember::get_all_statistics

 

PoolMember::get_statistics

 

NodeAddress::get_all_statistics

 

NodeAddress::get_statistics

 

 

VirtualServer::get_all_statistics

 

VirtualServer::get_statistics

 

VirtualAddress::get_all_statistics

 

VirtualAddress::get_statistics

 

 

The stats you'd likely be interested in are:

 

Common::STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_CURRENT_CONNECTIONS

 

Common::STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_MAXIMUM_CONNECTIONS

 

Common::STATISTIC_SERVER_SIDE_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS

Do you have any sample code that enumerations current connections?

 

 

thanks

The SDK contains numerous examples containing statistics enumeration. Check out the ones for LocalLB NodeAddress, Pool, and VSStats. They are available in every language supported so dig down into the one of your choice. Do a grep/findstr for get_statistics and you should be set.

 

 

Also, You might want to also look at the Distribution Monitor GUI app in the SDK

 

 

[sdkroot]/sdk/samples/soap/c/microsoft/Management/DistributionMonitior

 

 

In this app, we take the raw stats and build a real-time chart with generated rates (bits/sec, etc).

Here's a snippet of C code that gets statistics for all node addresses, and prints them out to the console. You can get stats for other objects similarly.

 

 

     
                 try     
                 {     
                     Console.WriteLine("==============================================");     
                     Console.WriteLine("Getting node address statistics...");     
                     Console.WriteLine("------------------");     
          
                     LocalLBNodeAddressNodeAddressStatistics naStatList = nodeAddressObj.get_all_statistics();     
                     CommonTimeStamp ts = naStatList.time_stamp;     
                     Console.WriteLine("Statistics Timestamp: " + months[ts.month-1] +     
                         " " + ts.day + " " + ts.hour + ":" + ts.minute + ":" + ts.second +     
                         " " + ts.year);     
          
                     LocalLBNodeAddressNodeAddressStatisticEntry [] naStatistics = naStatList.statistics;     
                     for (int i = 0; i < naStatistics.Length; i++)     
                     {     
                         Console.WriteLine ("[" + i + "] Statistics for Node address: " + naStatistics[ i ].node_address);     
                         CommonStatistic [] stats = naStatistics[ i ].statistics;     
                         for (int j = 0; j < stats.Length; j++)     
                         {     
                             ulong stat = ((ulong) stats[j].value.high << 32) | (uint) stats[j].value.low;     
                             Console.WriteLine ("   [" + j + "] " + stats[j].type.ToString() + ": " + stat);     
                         }     
                     }     
          
                     Console.WriteLine("==============================================");     
                 }     
                 catch (System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHeaderException soapHdrEx)     
                 {     
                     printException(soapHdrEx);     
                 }     
     

 

 

Hope this helps.
