Get number of active connections using icontol api

Hi,     I am trying to use soap calls to find out number of active connection to f5 LTM. Right now i can get the connection count from the web gui. Does anyone know which soap call i can use?...

Pushkar,

 

 

The 'number of active connections' is too broad of a statement. You need to be more specific: Connections to a specific virtual server, to a specific pool, or broader metrics like TCP connections in ESTABLISHED state, etc.

 

 

I'd point you to the following API calls as places to start:

 

 

System.Statistics.get_tcp_statistics()

 

System.Statistics.get_ip_statistics()

 

System.Statistics.get_ipv6_statistics()

 

LocalLB.VirtualServer.get_all_statistics()

 

LocalLB.Pool.get_all_statistics()

 

 

Unfortunately what they return isn't documented very neatly -- you'll have to explore that yourself.
