Is it possible to list all LTM pools load balancing method?

With all devices included now we'd like to reconcile all our pools balancing methods. However, I haven't found a way to do this as yet. Is it even possible?

    Log into the F5 via SSH to tmos. Go into the ltm process by typing "ltm" and enter. Then type: list pool load-balancing-mode

      Thanks. I thought there might be a Big-IQ way because we've got hundreds of LTMs. And they're all in Big-IQ.

      If we had BIG-IQ I'd take a look. You may want to alter your question as you didn't mention anything about Big-IQ there. So you're not going to get any answers involving Big-IQ.

    If you need to get the 

    tmsh list pool load-balancing-mode
    output from multiple hosts in one shot, you can use iControl REST. The following bash script gets the load-balancing-mode information from two hosts: 172.16.1.133 and 172.16.1.155. Assumed that the admin password was common for both boxes: i.e., 

    for i in 133 155; do
  echo -n $i
  curl -sku admin: https://172.16.1.$i/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool?\$select=loadBalancingMode \| 
  python -m json.tool | fgrep '"loadBalancingMode"'
done
