Glad to have you aboard Wes!

 

 

That error message means that the requested method isn't on the BIG-IP. This happens when we add new methods to new releases and you haven't upgraded to that release yet. Per the SDK documentation, the System::Statistics::get_performance_graph_list() method was first introduced in BIG-IP v9.2 (look for the "Introduced" attribute at the top of the SDK API reference page for that method). Odds are you are running a version prior to 9.2.0.

 

 

As for the wiki, for iControl that is a daunting task (> 2000 methods). For the mean time the main source of documentation for iControl will be from the SDK. What's not included in there are a bunch of how-to's and that is how we see the wiki fitting in in the future. What kind of topics would you like to see in the wiki (outside of API documenatation). I'll see if I can get something started.

 

 

The easiest way to get your hands around our APIs is to get access to a BIG-IP's admin GUI. The interfaces in the API are mapped fairly close to the navigation in the GUI (Virtual Servers, Nodes, Pools, etc). Click through the GUI and the API docs in parallel and things should start to click into place.

 

 

Feel free to post any questions you have here in the mean time and I'll try to get you pointed in the right direction.
