    Please use iControl REST API with 

    Invoke-RestMethod
    like below with your 
    username
    ,
    password
    and 
    bigip
    .

    PS> $securePwd = ConvertTo-SecureString "password" -AsPlainText -Force
PS> $credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential("username",$securePwd)

    you can see nodename list 

    PS> Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/stats -Credential $credential | Format-List

    And you can see the stats of specified node with

    PS> Invoke-RestMethod -Uri https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/node/{target-nodename}/stats -Credential $credential | Format-List

Hi Uchi,

 

The above syntax worked.. Thanks for the help!

 

But,post running 'Invoke-RestMethod -Uri -Credential $credential',I receive the below results.

 

kind selfLink entries

 

tm:ltm:node:nodecollectionstats ... @{...

 

How to go ahead,if I want to check the active connections on a particular node ?
