    Hi Blue_whale you could use a bash script to do this pretty easily (or write a tmsh script to do the same, but bash might be a little easier if you're not familiar with the tmsh scripting):

    #!/bin/bash
    
    tmsh_show=$(tmsh show ltm virtual recursive all field-fmt)
    
    vipname=""
    vipconns=""
    vipstate=""
    
    echo "$tmsh_show" | while IFS= read -r line; do
        line=$(echo "$line" | sed -e 's/^[ \t]*//' -e 's/[ \t]*$//')
    
        if [ -z "$line" ]; then
            continue
        fi
    
        if [[ "$line" =~ ^ltm\ virtual\ ([^\ ]+) ]]; then
            vipname="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
        fi
    
        if [[ "$line" =~ ^clientside\.cur-conns\ ([0-9]+) ]]; then
            vipconns="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
        fi
    
        if [[ "$line" =~ ^status\.availability-state\ ([^\ ]+) ]]; then
            vipstate="${BASH_REMATCH[1]}"
        fi
    
        if [[ "$line" == "}" ]]; then
            printf "Vip Name: %s\n" "$vipname"
            printf "Current Connections: %s\n" "$vipconns"
            printf "Availability State: %s\n" "$vipstate"
            printf "\n"
    
            vipname=""
            vipconns=""
            vipstate=""
        fi
    done

    which on my fairly empty test box running 15.1.x shows results like this:

    [root@ltm15:LICENSE EXPIRES IN 1 DAYS:Active:Standalone] tmp # ./vip-glance.sh
    Vip Name: acme_handler_vip
    Current Connections: 9
    Availability State: available
    
    Vip Name: nginx-vip-tls
    Current Connections: 0
    Availability State: available
    
    Vip Name: self.listener
    Current Connections: 0
    Availability State: unknown
    
    Vip Name: tcp_duplication
    Current Connections: 0
    Availability State: offline
