Using the Python SDK for monitors

(YMMV depending on version. I'm using version 12.1.2.)

'monitor' is another collection with the various monitor types underneath it. If you just get the collection from 'monitor' you'll have a list of reference links to the sub-collections underneath it. One way of getting an actual list of monitors is to get the collection of the specific monitor type:

>>> https_monitors = mgmt.tm.ltm.monitor.https_s.get_collection()
>>> for mon in https_monitors:
...     print(mon.name)
...

Reminder that since the monitor objects are collections, they'll end in 's', or '_s' if the resource already ends in 's'. Example: to get https monitors, use 'https_s'. To get http monitors, use 'https'.

Apologies if I've butchered SDK terminology on collections/sub-collections. I'm still getting used to the environment myself.

Hi guys,

how can I create a new monitor using the Python SDK?

Unfortunately

monitor = mgmt.tm.ltm.monitors.monitor.create(partition='Common', name='MyMonitor01')

is not working.

AttributeError: '' object has no attribute 'monitors'

I'm trying to get a list of all available monitors. Is there a way to loop through the monitor types to then do a get_collection():

for monitor in mgmt.tm.ltm.monitor.get_collection():
        for item in monitor.get_collection():
                pprint(item)

This clearly doesn't work
