    Did you see this in the iControl REST user guide?

    To obtain statistics for a resource, this example queries the /Common/my-Pool object for current statistics.
The response that contains the statistical output appears in the second block.
GET https://192.168.25.42/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~my-Pool/stats

    So for interface stats for example, you could do this:

    curl -k -u "admin:admin" https://10.1.0.213/mgmt/tm/net/interface/stats -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X GET

    Other than interface, what do you need? Things like CPU and mem are the the sys section, so

    curl -k -u "admin:admin" https://10.1.0.213/mgmt/tm/sys/cpu/stats -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X GET

Hi there, I too am trying to get cpu stats of BIG IP F5 version 12 via either Rest API or SNMP command.

 

I am being told that only admin user can extract cpu stats via rest API call. Cannot there be a read only user who can get the cpu stats out of F5?

 

Can you actually send me the exact (snmpget/snmpwalk command I could run to get the F5 cpu stats please.

 

I will appreciate the same. many thanks Sumit
