How to get all Pools for a Node

The Pool::get_member() method returns a 2D array which is likely what is causing you an issue. You pass in an array of pools, and it returns a 2-d array with the first dimension relating to each input pool and the 2nd dimension with the members in that pool. I've streamlined your code a bit to make use of bulk calls. By calling the get methods only once you can reduce the round-trip time dramatically. Here's some code that will query all the node addresses and print out the pools that they belong to.

 

 

* I've commented out the get_screen_names method becuase on my dev build of BIG-IP it was giving me some troubles. Uncomment for a production build and you should be fine.
