NimbostratusGet list of load balancers
Hi,
I am new to F5 and iControl SDK.
Can you please guide me where to look if I want to list all the load balancers and their status?
Thanks,
Venu
F5 provides two separate products that do what you're seeking: Enterprise Manager and BIG-IQ. They are detailed here:
With both products, you can also automate and simplify management of BIG-IP systems.
Having said that, you can definitely extract state information from BIG-IP systems using iControl. Indeed, that is how EM and BIG-IQ do so. To direct you to the right part of the iControl API, can you describe what "status" you're looking for? Do you want to know the status of the LTM Virtual Servers (the traffic listeners), of the pool members (the servers to which traffic is directed), or something else? Also, which version of the BIG-IP code are you using?
