How to list virtual servers based on some properties, like destination/pool/profile used

Hi Jozef, That's the way to find specific values. Filter for something which delimits the output so you don't accidentally mix configuration from two different objects. You can add as many values as you like using |. For example:

 list ltm virtual all | grep 'ltm virtual\|my_pool'
ltm virtual my_vip_one {
    pool my_pool
ltm virtual my_vip_three {
    pool my_pool
ltm virtual my_vip_two {
    pool my_pool

 list ltm virtual all | grep 'ltm virtual\|my_source'
ltm virtual my_vip_one {
        my_source {
ltm virtual my_vip_three {
        my_source {
ltm virtual my_vip_two {
        my_source {

 list ltm virtual all | grep 'ltm virtual\|1.2.3'
ltm virtual my_vip_one {
    destination 1.2.3.4:https
ltm virtual my_vip_three {
    destination 1.2.3.6:https
ltm virtual my_vip_two {
    destination 1.2.3.5:https

 list ltm virtual all | grep 'ltm virtual\|my_source\|1.2.3.4'
ltm virtual my_vip_one {
    destination 1.2.3.4:https
        my_source {

Hope this is helpful, Kevin

Hi Jozef, there is a tmsh script in the codeshare you can load that allows you to search the config by object name. Example on my system.

[root@ltm1:Active:Standalone] config  tmsh findconf rule.rest_api
found 2 matches in 5180 configuration objects
ltm rule : rule.rest_api
ltm virtual : vip.iruler_backend
    rules: rule.rest_api

Thanks guys.

I was sort of hoping I can achieve that without external filering using grep or another Perl script. Don't get me wrong, I love scripting. It's just that I was curious if I'm not using grep for something already implemented in the tmsh itself.

It's like using

cat file | grep string

instead of using

grep string file

Anyway, thank you for your answers...
