    Hi THE_BLUE 

    This command will show you the total stats on the virtual server from the time the LB was booted ( if that virtual server/s stats were not reset post last boot). If the virtual server stats were reset after the boot then the count you will see after that will be since last counter reset on that virtual server.

    It also shows current connection count which refers to current live connections on it in real time.

FYI, there is also another command which you can run from bash that is helpful especially if you want monitor the amount of traffic and connections going to your virtual servers and nodes in real-time:

Commands:

run util bash
bigtop

 

Example Output:
