There are a few ways you can do that.

 

One would be to log into the BIG-IP GUI and navigate to Statistics > Module Statistics > Local Traffic, and on the top drop down menu that says "Status Summary" select "Pools". Down below it will display your pools and if you click the + symbol to the left of the pool you are interested in, it will show the connections to each individual member.

 

You can also run a tcpdump on the BIG-IP interface that faces your servers and filter the results using "dst host "

 

Hope that helps!
