Question - Retrieve Pool Member's Connection List

Hi All,

 

 

 

Is it possible to retrieve a pool member's active connections as a list?

 

[ from ip -> pool + member -> backend service ip]

 

 

I was trying with this Common.StatisticType -> STATISTIC_TCP_OPEN_CONNECTIONS but it gives back an integer only.

 

 

Thx, kEndE

    I think I found the answer in another thread:

    I understand that retrieving that amount of info can be too much for the device, but what about returning the connection list on pool or member level? That wont be that much, hopefully.

    Even at the pool level, the list can be quite huge depending on the throughput on your VIP. At one point PD was working on a paging mechanism but I don't believe that's made it into the product yet. As far as I know, the only way to get connection details is by using the "bigpipe conn" command.
