iControlREST: Node availability details

Good day, The pool member's Disabled status seems to be in the Rest output. I tried disabled, enabled with monitor good and monitor bad, here were the results:

"session":"user-disabled"
"session":"user-enabled"

"state":"down"
"state":"up"

Those seem sufficient to determine status.

You can get some more information by accessing endpoint.

There, you will find the following property for each node:

status.statusReason: {
    description: "/Common/https_443: No successful responses received before deadline.  @2017/01/08 14:04:04. "
},

Unfortunately the information about date is missing in this property when the node is forced offline

Usually, you can access information via iControl REST as long as the date is obtainable from

tmsh

A workaround I can think of is to get the info from /var/log/ltm.

curl -sku admin:adminPass -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" \

-d "{\"command\":\"run\", \"utilCmdArgs\":\"-c 'grep YOURNODE /var/log/ltm'\"}" \

https://YOURHOST/mgmt/tm/util/bash

It does work, but it isn't great. You need to parse the data further to get what you want. Obviously, it does not work after the log file is rotated.

You can find the information on

/mgmt/tm/util/bash

• iControl REST - Avoid using non UTF-8 characters
• iControl® REST API User Guide, Version 12.1.0

The problem here is that you can't see how long the node is/has been offline. This is crucial information for a script that alerts when a node is down for a certain amount of time.

I am also looking for same kind of details ? is there any way to find out using bigsuds or using REST api calls ?
