APM sesions count per partition

[Zdenek]

Hello,

is it possible to get list or just count of APM sessions per policy or per partition?

I found some snmp or tmsh commands, but they never return result for specific partition or specific APM policy.

If there is some way, prefferably using API rest, it would be great.

Thx

Zdenek

Hi Zdnek,

iControl REST-API does unfortunately not have an end-point to show statistical data for a given APM policy.

But TMSH CLI has a command to display active sessions for a given APM policy. See the syntax below:

itacs@(kw-f5-dev)(cfg-sync Standalone)(Active)(/Common)(tmos)# show apm profile access

--------------------------------------------------------------
ACCESS Profile: Radius_Policy

    total established sessions: 0                             
    current active sessions: 1                                
    current pending sessions: 1                               
    current established sessions: 0

If REST is your prefered method to query such data, then you could access those information via:

curl -sku 'admin:admin' -X POST -H "Content-type: application/json" -d "{\"command\":\"run\", \"utilCmdArgs\": \"-c 'tmsh show apm profile access'\"}" https://YOURBIGIP/mgmt/tm/util/bash

You may also write a custom TMSH script to enumerate your partitions, enumerate the included APM Policies, query statistical information and finally output the enumerated infomation in a more compact format (e.g. CSV, JSON, XML, whatever...). The TMSH script may then be called via TMSH CLI or via REST API...
