NimbostratusTrying to create Icontrol to retrieve values similar to show /sys connection
Hi guys,
So I want to create a script to help people that don't have access to the LTM find the information available in the show /sys connection command.
But I'm having some trouble finding the right command in the API docs to get that information.
I use the following to dump all my BIG-IP statistics into a metrics system (in this case, Graphite).

- Brian_Gibson_30That's pretty cool stuff. Not what I was looking to do per se in this question but this is something I have been looking to do but with the IStats API, albeit not with much luck.
- mhite_60883Ah! Whoops -- didn't read your question close enough, sorry. You probably want this: https://clouddocs.f5.com/api/icontrol-soap/System__Connections.html
- Brian_Gibson_30Perfect! Thanks so much. Also, I am going to play around with that iControl script. That is really interesting and I hate the SNMP polling stats for VIPs.
