F5 - Command Line VIP/Pool/Node/Last UP Status Summary

To do so, you need Bash engineering 🙂

start with:

tmsh show ltm pool  members | grep -e "Ltm::" -e "Activity" -e "State"

If you need more help, tell me and I will back to rescue.

If you don't like Bash, you can do it with python as well (using F5 SDK).

Hi

I am trying to get LTM VIP status using a python script.

I can successfully pull all details of the VIP however not able to find a field in there that describes the state of the VIP (i.e. up or down).

Here is an example of the JSON output for a TEST VIP:
