Getting started with the python SDK part 3: working with statistics

I'm posting this here to hopefully help someone else out on how to iterate through the pool member stats. The F5 Python SDK: How to get virtual server availability article was useful in figuring this out.

 

This executes much slower than I would like it to, but at least I can get to the data now.

 

I was after the number of server side connections, the availability state and enabled state values of each pool member.

 

 load the pool
p1 = mgmt.tm.ltm.pools.pool.load(name='TEST-POOL', partition='Common')

 get the pool members
members = p1.members_s.get_collection()

 Iterate through each pool member
for member in members:        
     load the pool member and stats for the member
    pm = p1.members_s.members.load(name=member.name, partition="Common")
    pmstats = pm.stats.load()

     Get the selfLink to be used later.
    for k in pmstats.entries:
        selflink = k

     statentries will contain a list with the correct data
    statentries = pmstats.entries.get(selflink).get('nestedStats').get('entries')

    for i in statentries:
         Numbers entries contain information in 'value'
         Text entries contain information in 'description'
        if i == 'serverside.curConns':
            connections = statentries[i].get('value')

        if i == 'status.availabilityState':
            availability = statentries[i].get('description')

        if i == 'status.enabledState':
            enabled = statentries[i].get('description')

    print("{}, {:3}, {}, {}".format(member.name, connections, availability, enabled))
