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...

I can't seem to get that JSON data from your instructions above.

 

I get the expected results from running the script from bash on the BIG-IP:

 

[me@BIGIPDNS1:Active:Standalone] ~ tmsh run cli script BIGIPDNSpoolmemberstatus.tcl a MY_POOL VIRTUAL_SERVER_1_443:LTMSFRML1ab,available,enabled VIRTUAL_SERVER_2_443:LTMSFRML1ab,available,enabled

 

However, calling it from a Python file that I created didn't give me the JSON results like what you were able to demonstrate above. Below is my code in my Python file:

 

…

 

mgmt = ManagementRoot( mydevice, myuser, mypassword) ps = mgmt.tm.util.bash.exec_cmd('run', utilCmdArgs='-c "tmsh run cli script BIGIPDNSpoolmemberstatus.tcl a MY_POOL"')

 

ps.commandResult

 

No errors are shown when executing the above but I am unable to print the JSON data. For example, it would result in an error if I do a "print ps.commandResult". The errors I always get say that "The requested shell script (/Common/BIGIPDNSpoolmemberstatus.tcl) was not found". Again, I am able to run this TMSH script from the BIG-IP in success.

 

Not sure what I am missing or doing wrong.
