Hi,

iControl REST uses REpresentational State Transfer (REST) to interact with F5. It will help to quickly get up and running with scripts that can lighten your workload via automation, help prevent potential issues by monitoring and preventing disaster before it strikes, silently tuning your deployment to fit your application’s needs without human intervention and more. Anything that you’re able to accomplish from the command line you can leverage programmatically via iControl REST.

You can do get information of the virtual <vs>

curl -sku admin:admin https://<host>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/<vs>

Get stats of the virtual

curl -sku admin:admin https://<host>/mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual/<vs>/stats

And many more. Please refer the link -  https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-rest/# for more details.

Thanks,

Mithilesh
