Try using a different interface for each device in the device group, and, once you determine which device(s) is/are active, make iControl calls against those devices only (if you are looking for traffic statistics).
- KimL_175448Nov 06, 2014NimbostratusOk that helps. It's good to know that I'm on the right track. I thought it would make more sense to connect to the group and get the device names from the group, then connect to them individually, but it sounds like that's not how this was designed to work. I figured if they ever added a third device, I wouldn't want to have the individual device names hard-coded because then I'd have to update my code.
- shaggyNov 06, 2014Nimbostratusyou could also use the list of devices in the device-group. Depending on your network structure and the configuration of the F5s, you may be able to connect to a floating address that is owned by the active device and query against that initially - that way you should always hit a live/active device to determine what specific devices to query
