exporting object status to web page

we have a team of application support engineers who often ask me whether or not a node in a pool is 'up' or 'down'

 

 

is it possible to export the status of nodes and virtual servers to an external web site?

 

 

thank you

    Sure - this can be accomplished via iControl. Have a look at some of the examples here:

    In particular, you might find this example interesting:
