AltostratusFinding "Active Device" of a traffic group
Hi, Is there any way to get the "Active Device" of a given traffic group using powershell? On the GUI, if you go to Device Management-> Traffic Groups, this information is displayed in the column "Active Device". I've tried various ways to access this info, and have so far been unsuccessful via Powershell.
Thanks so much!!

Hi Suni,
I think you're looking for "show /cm traffic-group" command.

SuniHi Mariuz, I actually didn't know about that command. I just tried it in the tmsh shell and it worked great.
However, I am trying to achieve this via iControl and specifically PowerShell if at all possible. Do you know if there is a way to get this information via PowerShell?Thanks so much!

Sorry Suni, I am not familiar with PowerShell.

have you looked at this: https://devcentral.f5.com/d/microsoft-powershell-with-icontrol
once you can perform commands from powershell via icontrol then performing the command above should be easy.

Hi boneyard, I actually did and I am leveraging a lot I learned from that and other PS/iControl articles to do what I need in our environment (creating pools,healthchecks etc), but, I have so far not been successful in being able to connect to a F5 unit that is part of an HA pair, running Active/Active, where some traffic groups are on one unit and others are on the other unit, and get which unit is currently active for a given Traffic Group. -Suni

Have you looked at the get_failover_state method?
