Help with PoolMember get_object_status on dozens of pools

Alex, all our methods in 9.x allow for multiple input values so you can pass in more than one pool name in a single request. In your example, you are passing in an array with only a single pool per call. One thing I'm also wondering about in your code sample is why you are passing in the members parameter since the PoolMember::get_object_status() method only takes a single parameter (list of pools).

MemberObjectStatus [] [] LocalLB:oolMember::get_object_status(
    in String [] pool_names
);

 

 

Here's some code that makes one call to get a list of all the pools, and then a second call to request the pool members statuses for all the pools.

 

 

$Pool = SOAP::Lite
  -> uri('urn:iControl:LocalLB/Pool')
  -> readable(1)
  -> proxy("$sProtocol://$sHost:$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi");
$PoolMember = SOAP::Lite
  -> uri('urn:iControl:LocalLB/PoolMember')
  -> readable(1)
  -> proxy("$sProtocol://$sHost:$sPort/iControl/iControlPortal.cgi");
$soapResponse = $Pool->get_list();
@pool_list = @{$soapResponse->result};
  
$soapResponse = $PoolMember->get_object_status(
  SOAP::Data->name(pool_names => [@pool_list])
);
@member_object_status_AofA = @{$soapResponse->result};
  
$i = 0;
foreach $pool (@pool_list)
{
  print "POOL $pool\n";
  @member_object_status_list = @{@member_object_status_AofA[$i]};
  foreach $member_object_status (@member_object_status_list)
  {
    $member = $member_object_status->{"member"};
    $address = $member->{"address"};
    $port = $member->{"port"};
    $object_status = $member_object_status->{"object_status"};
    $availability_status = $object_status->{"availability_status"};
    $enabled_status = $object_status->{"enabled_status"};
    $status_description = $object_status->{"status_description"};
      
    print "  MEMBER $address:$port\n";
    print "    $availability_status\n";
    print "    $enabled_status\n";
    print "    $status_description\n";
  }
  $i++;
}

 

 

So, no matter how many pools or members you have, it'll only take two calls.

 

 

You can do similar things with virtuals and nodes. Also, look for the "get_all*" methods in some of the interfaces. That make help out with avoiding having to query a list first.

 

 

Let me know if anything else comes up...
