CirrusGetting active pool member connections using Python
If I want to see all of the client connections connecting to a pool member from the CLI I can do something like a "show sys connection ss-server-addr 1.2.3.4". I can also do this using Postman mappi...

CirrusThe stats are pulled from the pool or member itself. Try this for an example:
!/usr/bin/env python3
from f5.bigip import ManagementRoot
from getpass import getpass
from pprint import pprint
hostname = 'my.f5.ltm.net'
username = 'foo'
mgmt = ManagmentRoot(hostname, username, getpass())
pool = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='my_pool_name')
poolstats = pool.stats.load()
pprint(poolstats.raw)
members = pool.members_s.get_collection()
member0_stats = members[0].stats.load()
pprint(member0_stats.raw)

CirrusThanks Jason. I am able to get stats the way you describe, but what I am trying to get is the actual connected clients connected to each pool member. For example from the CLI if I do a
show sys connection cs-server-addr 10.69.67.92
I get the following resuts:'

I am trying to get this same data using the API. I can get it via REST using Postman, but cannot figure out how to do it using Python.
