Pool node status

Is there a way to see the status of the page below externally from the F5 management page?       /tmui/Control/jspmap/tmui/locallb/pool/stats.jsp     I would like to be able at a glance...

Hi,

 

 

I don't think there is a simple, F5-supported way to give unauthenticated access to just the pool stats page. However, you could create a guest login and use that. In the upcoming v11, you have the option of not enforcing the GUI's idle timeout on the dashboard using a checkbox under system>>preferences:

 

 

Enforce Idle Timeout While Viewing The Dashboard

 

 

If that doesn't work for you, you could modify one of these examples:

 

 

iControl-based solutions which allow programmatic access to the BIG-IP

iRule based solutions which use an LTM virtual server to get the status:
