BIQ-IQ API endpoint to get specific virtual server connection count

[Bryan-00]

Hello,

We are trying to get virtual server stats via BIG-IQ using below endpoint. We did get some result but it did not return connection related information.

https://{BIG-IQ}/mgmt/cm/adc-core/working-config/ltm/virtual/{OBJ_ID}/stats

Found this documentation: 

https://clouddocs.f5.com/products/big-iq/mgmt-api/v0.0/ApiReferences/bigiq_public_api_ref/r_analytic...

Attempted to use below BODY but it always return zero client connections.

{

    "kind": "ap:query:stats:byTime",

    "module": "bigip-virtual-stat",

    "timeRange": {

            "from": "-30s",

            "to": "now"

    },

    "timeGranularity": {

            "duration": 30,

            "unit": "SECONDS"

    },

    "aggregations": {

            "client-connections$sum": {

            }

    },

    "dimension": {

            "type": "eq",

            "dimension": "virtual",

            "value": "/Common/{VIP_NAME}"

    }

}

Is the Virtual server part of AS3 application https://techdocs.f5.com/kb/en-us/products/big-iq-centralized-mgmt/manuals/product/big-iq-centralized...  or have you added it as a legacy application https://clouddocs.f5.com/training/community/big-iq-cloud-edition/html/class1/module6/module6.html .

I have not used this REST-API function on BIG-IQ to see virtual server connections not directly from the F5 BIG-IP but the BIG-IQ but maybe as I mentioned the Big-IQ should first collect more info for the Virtual server.

Thanks for the feedback!

The virtual server is already present on the BIG-IP that was onboarded. It is not part of AS3 and I believe its not added as a legacy application as well.
