    Hi SamCo,

    You should be able to obtain a full list of the virtual servers, and a full list of the DoS profiles fairly easily, then in a programming language iterate over each VIP and the list of DoS profiles to check if there are any matches.

    So basically in some python pseudocode:

    Get /mgmt/tm/ltm/virtual as virtuals
    Get /mgmt/tm/security/dos/profile as dosprofiles
    
    for vip in virtuals:
        # start by setting some variable to false, if there is no dos profile match it will stay false
        match = False
        for profile in dosprofiles:
            if profile['name'] in vip['profiles']:
                # found a profile match, set some variable to true
                match = True
        # return the requested data
            

    You may also find it helpful to use the "expandSubcollections" flag, which can reduce the number of calls needed, but does increase the size of the response.

    Hope this helps.
