Getting active pool member connections using Python

Thanks Jason. I am able to get stats the way you describe, but what I am trying to get is the actual connected clients connected to each pool member. For example from the CLI if I do a

 show sys connection cs-server-addr 10.69.67.92

I get the following resuts:'

Sys::Connections
192.168.181.163:51952  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:4822  10.69.65.65:44301  tcp  3  (tmm: 10)  none
192.168.181.160:62556  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:21454  10.69.65.64:44301  tcp  2  (tmm: 10)  none
10.74.10.114:60012  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:4246  10.69.65.65:44301  tcp  11  (tmm: 11)  none
192.168.181.162:57199  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:32841  10.69.65.63:44301  tcp  2  (tmm: 6)  none
192.168.181.156:58295  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:57537  10.69.65.64:44301  tcp  1  (tmm: 1)  none
10.69.53.175:52661  10.69.67.92:443  10.69.67.15:57967  10.69.65.63:44301  tcp  10  (tmm: 7)  none
Total records returned: 6

I am trying to get this same data using the API. I can get it via REST using Postman, but cannot figure out how to do it using Python.

You're saying pool member but

cs-server-addr

If you want connections to the virtual server use:

virtual = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='my_vs_name')
vsstats = virtual.stats.load()

If you want pool member stats they are in the

member0_stats = members[0].stats.load()

member0_stats.entries['serverside.curConns']

Here's a graphical breakdown of the various cs/ss arguments:

That example was a virtual IP, but was just the example IP I had in front on me. In reality I need this for both virtual servers and pool members.

But in any case, when I use your example for pool members I get the output of the value of the number of connected clients instead of the list of client IP's connected to the pool member as I showed above. My results for that code give me:

{'value': 5}

What I need is the list of those 5 IP's that are currently connected to that pool member which I can get using the CLI command "show sys connection ss-server-addr x.x.x.x"

You're saying pool member but

cs-server-addr

is virtual server. 

If you want connections to the virtual server use:

virtual = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='my_vs_name')
vsstats = virtual.stats.load()

If you want pool member stats they are in the

member0_stats = members[0].stats.load()

example above (you will need to iterate the pool members) -

member0_stats.entries['serverside.curConns']

.
