Use of APM mcget variables in iRule?

I'm interested of APM CCU usage, which can be found via APM VPE variable assign: [mcget -license {tmm.license.global_connectivity}].   Is there any direct way to retrieve this value via an irule i...

    Tried this earlier:

     

    irule using "ACCESS::session data get -license tmm.license.global_connectivity"

     

    • passes syntax check by GUI
    • gives warning in the ltm log (when saving the irule):

    Warning generated : /Common/auth_logging_irule:6: warning: [The following errors were not caught before. Please correct the script in order to avoid future disruption. "invalid argument tmm.license.global_connectivity"575 65][ACCESS::session data get -license tmm.license.global_connectivity]

     

    • gives run time TCL error:

    TCL error: /Common/auth_logging_irule - bad option name (line 1)variable lookup failed (line 1)Illegal argument (line 1) (line 1) invoked from within "ACCESS::session data get -license tmm.license.global_connectivity"

     

    Seems that the "-license" option is not allowed. Trying without the "-license" goes syntactically ok and without run time errors, but returns empty or null value. Using the mcget in VPE gives correct CCU max value.
