How to Monitor sessions/connections in VIP

Hi Kevin,

Lets say: we have 2 active-members( Eg: 1.1.1.1 and 2.2.2.2) in that particular pool named test_app against the VIP we are configuring, can the command can be as below:

tmsh show /ltm pool test_app members { 1.1.1.1:80 } |grep "| Current Connections" |awk -F" " '{ print $4 }'

tmsh show /ltm pool test_app members { 2.2.2.2:80 } |grep "| Current Connections" |awk -F" " '{ print $4 }'

================If the above is true, kindly assist in understanding the below too:

1. awk -F" " '{ print $4 }'
2. And where the output will show up where we can gather the information.

Thanks and Regards Parveez
