    Hi Pinco, 

    Maybe not quite the answer you're looking for, but have you tried using the "log" command? This way, you can receive the last 10 or so lines of ltm log and use those to confirm if there were any problems. 

    The following command gives you the last 10 lines of ltm log via iControl; 

    curl -sku admin:XXXXXXXX -H "Content-Type: application/json" -X GET https://XX.XX.XX.XX/mgmt/tm/sys/log/ltm/stats?options=lines,10

    More info on the log commands via iControl: https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K41550738

    Hope this helps.

You could create a periodic iCall to create/update a component which contains a timestamp eg in the description. On REST, check the object and ensure the timestamp is updated. This doesn't necessarily show that all config is loaded - take a look at mcp state as well.
