If you have dabbled with python and iControl over the years, you might be familiar with some of my other “Getting Stared with …” articles on python libraries. I started my last, on Bigsuds, this way:...

Hi @admafitz, I don't think so directly, the rest interface provides "sanitized" data as json objects, not the raw tmsh output. However, you could use the bash util via rest to get raw input.

 

x = b.tm.util.bash.exec_cmd('run', utilCmdArgs='-c "tmsh list ltm pool testpool"')
print(x.commandResult)
ltm pool testpool {
    description "This pool is for test purposes only"
    members {
        192.168.103.20:http {
            address 192.168.103.20
            session monitor-enabled
            state down
        }
        192.168.103.21:http {
            address 192.168.103.21
            session monitor-enabled
            state down
        }
        192.168.103.22:http {
            address 192.168.103.22
            session monitor-enabled
            state down
        }
    }
