NimbostratusiControl REST question
Is there any way I can get all the pools starting with some specific names with a REST call.
For example:
I have pools with name:
CDEQ_http_pool CDEQ_https_pool CDEQ_8080_pool
I need to get the state of all the pools starting with CDEQ_.
I tired with:
$select=name eq CDEQ_http_pool
even I don't get any data back for this pool.
Do I need to loop through all the pools and filter it in my script or can I get it through a REST call.

You'll probably want to query
, filter your results, and the query the state of each pool that matched usinghttps://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/?$select=name,fullPath
. You will have to replace / in the fullPath with ~ in your pool member query.https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/(fullpath)/stats?$select=status.availabilityState
DevBabuThanks Brad. Sorry, I think I did not made my question clear. I have three pools that start with CDEQ_. As we do CDEQ* to filter only the pools that start with CDEQ in GUI. Is there a way to achieve the same doing a GET call like https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~CDEQ*. Or do I need to do the usual way. Get all the pools returned with https://bigip/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/ and match the pool name that starts with CDEQ through my script.- Brad_ParkerYou can not query with pattern matching or wildcards at this time. You will have to gather, filter, and query status of each like I suggested above.

- prole92_221949According to the iControl REST API User Guide it is possible to filter ltm objects only by partition names. Probably that won't help you, but still you can do this by adding the following string at the end of the URL: ?$filter=partition eq partitionName
