querying Pool member stats

Although the method below is not a Python code, this is how you can code.

  curl -sku admin: https:///mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/stats | \ python -m json.tool | \ egrep 'selfLink\:|status\.' && date 

That is;

1. Connect to the BIG-IP via https using Basic Authentication.
2. GET /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/stats. To get a specific pool, /mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/.
3. Parse the obtained JSON object.

4. Get the name of the pool(s) from selfLink: and their status from any of the following fields:

   • status.availabilityState
   • status.enabledState
   • status.statusReason

   • Get the (local) timestamp.

     Sample output as below:selfLink: 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/stats?ver=11.6.1', selfLink: 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~HTTP-All/stats?ver=11.6.1', 'status.availabilityState': { description: 'available' }, 'status.enabledState': { description: 'enabled' }, 'status.statusReason': { description: 'The pool is available' }, selfLink: 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~HTTP-CentOS-vmnet2/stats?ver=11.6.1', 'status.availabilityState': { description: 'offline' }, 'status.enabledState': { description: 'enabled' }, 'status.statusReason': { description: 'The children pool member(s) are down' }, selfLink: 'https://localhost/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~HTTP-CentOS-vmnet2-Node/stats?ver=11.6.1', 'status.availabilityState': { description: 'available' }, 'status.enabledState': { description: 'enabled' }, 'status.statusReason': { description: 'The pool is available' }, Mon Aug 7 10:15:44 NZST 2017
