NimbostratusHow to Get FailOver Status via iControl REST?
Hi Guys,
I´m playing with some REST calls, and I would like to get a specific information from a GET request. In the example:
GET , I got the following response:
{
"kind": "tm:cm:failover...
To answer your follow-up question:
This is just how the rest API works. You have to do some client side manipulation to get the actual data.
Here's an example in Powershell:
$Response = (Invoke-WebRequest -Method "GET" -Headers $headers -Uri "https://mydevice.j.local/mgmt/tm/cm/failover-status?`$select=status").content | ConvertFrom-Json
$content.entries.'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/cm/failover-status/0'.nestedStats.entries.status.description

ChimyHello Patric_Jonsson
I use your example in powershell but and error appear
I tried to fix, but there are something that is missed.
Could you re-check the code?
I think that point of view to perform the task to know if the device is active/standby is pretty cool 🙂
