Logging the Real time Information in Database

Ravi,

 

 

This information is already stored in the statistics page of your admin web interface. If you navigate to the Statistics page (Overview -> Statistics), you can select which way you'd like to view the stats on the BigIP. Choosing the "Pools" option should allow you to see how many connections have been made to each server in each pool.

 

 

This information is aggregate, and can be manually reset with the button at the bottom of that same page, or via the CLI with the bigpipe command.

 

 

As for writing this information to a database with an iRule, this is not something that we currently offer. You could certainly achieve this by logging something unique to your log file when each connection is received, and having another script parse that information and log it historically any way you choose.

 

 

The option I'd recommend varies based on your needs. Using the built in stats page is certainly easiest, since it's already there.

 

 

Hopefully this helps. Be sure to let me know if you have further questions.
