Get current connection on Ansible module : bigip_node

Hello all.

 

I'm trying to use bigip_node, bigip_facts module on ANSIBLE 2.2. I succeed to control a node to Forced offline (only active connections allowed).

 

After that, I want to check number of current connection the node, because of waiting for next work. How can I have the value of it?

 

I found a answer of Python iControl below. But I fail to find it on any ansible module.

 

Thanks for reading.

    Hi Hidehara,

    You can use tmsh show sys connection command using raw module

    - name: "Get active connection on specific server"
  raw: "tmsh show sys connection ss-server-addr 192.168.1.12"
  delegate_to: localhost

    Thanks

    Hi Syed Nazir

     

    Thanks for great answer.

     

    I didn't imagine that accessing tmsh shell with raw module.

     

    I'll try to do that.

     

    Regards

    I have struggled with this for sometime, I have not had success with the tmsh commands giving the proper output that will reflect 0 connections. Are there any modules that do this directly?

     

    ajayrah, did you ever find a working reliable solution?
