tmsh to show pool members connection stats for FQDN member?

Hi there, I have a pool that contains 2 members and 2 auto-generated FQDN members; e.g. Server01.domain.org Server02.domain.org _auto_104.1.1.1 _auto_104.1.1.2 Where _auto_104.1.1.1 is li...

gneville I don't believe you can gather data for Server01.domain.org because that is just the FQDN that is used to resolve a DNS query. In this particular case _auto_104.1.1.1 is the connection stats for Server01.domain.org so if you could see them they would be one in the same. You will always see connection stats down to the pool member that is auto generated based on the FQDN being used. So if Server01.domain.org resolved to 4 A records then you would see the stats based on each _auto_ so you would see individual stats rather than a grouped stat from the FQDN.

Thanks for the reply. 

So there is no way to use TMSH (or any other command line / scripting approach) to query the name of a node in a pool, if it's been added as a 'FQDN node' - and get it's connection stats?

This seems like it should be not a difficult thing to do;  because surely anyone is going to want to use the hostname of a node e.g. Server01.domain.org and not _auto_104.1.1.1 in any sort of scripting or automation.
