How can I dump the connection table and persistence table by iControl API

If you're looking to get information out of the connection table, the best place to start is the System::Connections interface. You can get more information about it and available methods here:

HTH,

Just be wary of the "get_all_active_connections" and get_active_connections(get_list()) methods as the results sets will likely be VERY large and could have possible side effects of slightly slowing down the performance of the device. We suggest you call get_list() and split that array up in manageable chunks (<100) and loop over those chunks in calling get_active_connections() with that truncated array as input to it's search criteria.

Any chance the F5 will support sFlow or similar in future versions?

is it possible to call get_active_connection_v2() with a self built connectionID?

 

I would like to do the same as

 

 

show sys connection cs-server-addr cs-server-port

I'm a lot interested in this topic. (Thanks for asking. weikang Hu)

 

I read the Colin's answer above. Then I tried to test the API but I couldn't find proper function in my Java iControl v10 library. There is no "System::Connections" section even in iControl SDK document (for both v10 and v11). How can I call the mentioned function?
