How to show the Pools and Virtual Servers like the BigTop coammnad shell?

Hi All:

I send this post to ask you if there's some way to show the Pools and Virtual Servers,

 

like does the BigTop command shell?

 

I need to to this with the Local Real Only User, not with root user.

 

Since now thanks a lot.

    What data are you trying to provide the limited access users? Here are a couple of options for getting VS and pool info via iControl or a virtual server:

     

     

    http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iRules/Pool__Member__Status__Page_on_a__Virtual__Server_v10.html

     

    This iRule will create a dynamic updated HTML page and/or xml rss page of all the pools and their members address and ports and indicate UP/DOWN or Disabled Status. It uses an external datagroup file, + cron to make the list dynamic. You apply the iRule to a virtual server with the HTTP profile. This will allow clients or other IT personal see pools and their member status w/o logging into the LTM. The page is useful if you have separate monitors that can look at the content of the page.

    Virtual Server Pool Member Status And Control (using iControl)

     

    http://devcentral.f5.com/wiki/default.aspx/iControl/VirtualServerPoolMemberStatusAndControl.html

     

    This one gives admin permissions, but you could modify the code to prevent changes.
