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
