I'm with Colin - near zero if not zero impact from polling because the management interface is separate (physically) from the VIP/Node interfaces.

 

 

As to getting the information you need, if you have a list of exactly what you'd like we can help point you in the right direction.

 

Another option is to FTP or SCP the config file and parse it locally - that will have all of the information about current configuration in it, it just won't have information about the current firmware levels and such bigpipe is running.
