Displaying Real-time statistics for a pool or virtual server

hi Ijaz,

 

What kind of real-time stats are you looking for?

 

 

Bhattman

such as number of connections, bytes etc.

 

 

Thanks,

if I remember correctly I have seen bigpipe command for it but I dont remember the syntax of it.

You can use 'b virtual VIP_NAME show' to get current stats for a virtual server or 'b pool POOL_NAME show' for a pool. You can use the watch command ('man watch' for details) to run the b virtual command and update it every x number of seconds:

 

 

watch -n1 'b virtual test_vs show'

 

 

or

 

 

watch -n1 'b pool test_pool show'

beginning in 10.1, you can write tmsh scripts to watch pool stats and display the desired stats. Check out this example in the codeshare:

The output for this script would look like this:

 

 

pool_name bps-in bps-out cps

 

 

 

A simple example that can be extended as necessary. Once the script is to your liking, creating an alias to it extends the shell with your new command.
