    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, I ran the following command to check the current connections on a active node .....where, I replaced bigip with bigip ip address and replaced target node with the node name

     

    Invoke-RestMethod -Uri {target node}/stats -Credential $credential | Format-List

     

    The following is the result the I am receiving post executing the above command..

     

    kind : tm:ltm:node:nodestatsgeneration : 1selfLink : {target node}/stats?ver=11.6.1entries : @{addr=; curSessions=; monitorRule=; monitorStatus=; tmName=; serverside.bitsIn=; serverside.bitsOut=; serverside.curConns=; serverside.totConns=; sessionStatus=; status.availabilityState=; status.enabledState=; status.statusReason=; totRequests=}

     

    So, do I need to add any of the above entries in the Invoke-Restmethod command or here itself should I see all the node stats.

     

    Please bear with me,as I am new to API

     

    Thanks

    You have already get all the node stats. Please change 

    Format-List
    to 
    ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10
    and then you can see all of data recursively.
