NimbostratusCLIENT_SIDE_CURRENT_CONNECTIONS greater than CLIENT_SIDE_MAX_CONNECTIONS
Hello,
I am using the SOAP API to get some network data. I noticed that very often I get the number of current connections (CLIENT_SIDE_CURRENT_CONNECTIONS) greater than the number of max connections (CLIENT_SIDE_MAX_CONNECTIONS).
From my understanding, the number of MAX connections is the MAX connections it has even seen, so it wouldnt make sense for the current to be larger than max.
Thank you a lot in advance for your help!

You've done the necessary conversions of the "high" and "low" 32 integers in the SOAP responses into the 64 bit integer that you're actually after?
myabe_230403I am not sure what you mean by High and low. To get this data, I used SOAP APIS: module => 'System', interface => 'Statistics', method => 'get_global_statistics'. I have used this perl library https://metacpan.org/pod/BigIP::iControl to read this data. All the remaining information seem to be correct (I checked with the values on the dashboard of the load balancer). Your help is very much appreciated!

So I've not used the Perl library myself (I've only used the Python pycontrol and bigsuds libraries) so I'm not 100% certain, unfortunately.
Looking at the CPAN link, though, I don't see a get_global_statistics helper function. I presume if you are using a function from that helper library, however, that it prepares the SOAP responses into the appropriate Perl data structure which would hopefully do the proper fiddling of the high/low portions of the LB response.
See this link for an explanation of the high/low stuff I mentioned:
