Cirrushow many concurrency rest api request LTM,GTM can support
how many concurrency rest api request LTM,GTM can support . I want to user a script to retrieve all the pool (name, member , monitor) configuration . or if there is a url that can retrieve all the configure at one time .
Another approach would be start without limits and check if your REST queries are being degraded (slow time of response because they are being queued, no response at all because you have reached iControlREST protection limit). It's up to you.
In production traffic I would rather the previous option.

Hello caulfiedd spurred.
It's impossible to respond to this question precisely.
F5 uses iControl Rest Daemon (icrd) process to manage those queries, which runs on the controlplane cores (in case you have hyperthreding enabled).
REF - https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K15003
The numbers of queries depends on the status of your controlplane resources. That means that "more alleviated resources" are equally to "more REST queries" (and less time in queues).
F5 also has a protection system that allows its to protect CPU/memory resources when too many REST queries are receiving.
REF - https://support.f5.com/csp/article/K22255547
So, my recommendation is to start sending queries gradually and monitor the CPU status.
