Virtual server name
BIGIP HOSTNAME

Thanks

    Hello ashish_solanki , 
    It's not that easy to deploy that , but let's try I see it's interesting: 

    Client >>> [IP::remote_addr]
Port >>>[TCP::remote_port]
Pool >>> [LB::server]
Returns Server IP address >>> [LB::server addr]
Returns selected Server Port >>> [LB::server port] >>> https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/LB__server.html

[virtual name] >>>> https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/irules/virtual.html

Hostname >>> [HTTP::host]

Http Status in Responses >>[HTTP::status]

    it's Good to try those but as I mentioned it's not that easy , you need to log to events at http requests and responses as well to get the status codes. 

    unfortunatelty , I don't have like your environment to test all of these TCL scripts , but anyway I hope it helps you in your implementations. 

    Please keep me updated , I need to know if it helps you or not.
