Rest add member to gtm pool

I'm trying to add a member to a GTM pool using rest. Is there something wrong with my syntax? curl -k -u admin:admin -H "Content-Type:application/json" -X PUT -d '{"name":"audit_pool", "members...

Did you resolve this ?
I got it working using this:

curl -sk --max-time 5 -u admin:admin https://X.X.X.X/mgmt/tm/gtm/pool/{GTM-Pool-Name}/members -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"name":"{F5-LTM-name}:/Common/{virtual-server-on-LTM"}'

Has anyone attempted adding members to the GTM pool on version 12.1.0? I cannot seem to get the correct syntax to add a pool member via iControl Rest. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Ying

I don't expect it to have changed significantly since I last did this so hopefully this will help:

Here are my variables:

GTM Pool Name = l72xxengx2external

F5 LTM Name = f5l2eng02ppew1b.testing.com

Virtual Server from F5 LTM = dvxxdatx2

This is the rest command from Curl:

curl -sk --max-time 5 -u {administrative-username}:{administrative-password} https://{F5 Management IP}/mgmt/tm/gtm/pool/l72xxengx2external/members -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -X POST -d '{"name":"f5l2eng02ppew1b.testing.com:/Common/dvxxdatx2"}'

Steve,

Thanks for the help. The param's you sent pointed me to where I needed to be. The only gotcha I ran into with that was that I needed to add "/Common" to the F5 LTM Name so it looked like: "/Common/f5l2eng02ppew1b.testing.com" for it to work without any errors.

Without the "/Common/", it would work but also error out with "404 Not Found: Object not found".

when we add the pool member, could we assign memberOrder as well? Anybody has done this?
