Pool member status on F5 DNS objects via iControl REST

I got a question on how to retrieve the status of pool members on F5 DNS objects via the iControl REST interface. In the GUI you get fancy red, yellow, black, blue, and green painted circles, diamond...

Hi John, you can use bash to run tmsh commands, so state is indeed possible by using tmsh modify on the pool member:

 tmsh show gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members | grep State
  State        : enabled
  |   State        : enabled
 tmsh modify gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members modify { ltm3:/Common/testvip { disabled }}
 tmsh show gtm pool a gslb_pool_1 members | grep State
  State        : enabled
  |   State        : disabled
