    Hi,

     

    Have you seen this one? https://devcentral.f5.com/s/question/0D51T00006i7Yj4/icontrol-rest-getting-pool-member-status

     

    Basically, this should be your curl request (change the name of the pool/IP and add user/pass):

     

    curl --request GET --url 'https://192.168.10.31/mgmt/tm/ltm/pool/~Common~wiki-pool/members/stats'

Also, how can I check if a virtual server is up/down via rest call?

Basically anything can be found via iControl, but can be a bit of a search at first. Anything to do with virtual servers, can be found under /mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual (the structure is very similar to TMSH commands). Have a look here for the full guide and setup required for any iControl requests;

Whenever I need to build any iControl commands, I use these pages to reference material.
